changelog
2024
- October 2, 2024: Made a new mystery theme for the spooky season.
- September 27, 2024: Switched to Bumblebee mark 2; I'm definitely going to spend the next few days working out the kinks that come with changing your site's bones.
- September 10, 2024: I added project navigation links.
- September 7, 2024: I added arrows to outlinks based on an idea from Tracy Durnell via Uncountable Thoughts.
- August 26, 2024: I added Chart.js script for chart generation.
- August 21, 2024: I added the mystery theme and changed random colors to rainbow order.
- August 20, 2024: I started my get weird with it project and added a translation page to go with it.
- August 5, 2024: I switched to self-hosting all my fonts!
- July 10, 2024: I archived a bunch of posts that I thought were kind of extraneous.
- May 25, 2024: I made everything a little more colorful with random colors for my various JS-generated indicies.
- May 1, 2024: I separated the media styles out into their own stylesheet (things were getting pretty long), and switched my color variables from hex to RGB.
- April 28, 2024: I added a recipes index.
- April 27, 2024: In my attempt to reduce my dependency on JavaScript,[4] I've switched my tooltips from Bootstrap-based to pure HTML/CSS. This is simultaneously the least of my concerns (I could certainly get by without styled tooltips at all if necessary) and the most (it was the only thing on my site that relied on third-party scripts—even the syntactical highlighting is plain old JS and hosted by me, not Google).
- April 26, 2024: I have to start properly dating these things. Anyway, in the last few days, I've added the theme switcher (of which I am exceptionally proud), added syntactical highlighting to the code blocks, and changed the color scheme from monochrome yellow to a sort of rainbow thing.[3] I've also made serious structural edits to both the CSS and Javascript so that their organization makes more sense to me logically.

- April 2024, take 2: lol nope! I switched hosts and got my own domain name, for starters. I also added the page of pages and associated JS array, made changes to the messages array so I could have a sources page that updates when I add a new quote, plus a guestbook page. Also, I went in and changed the format of all 300+ footnotes from # to [#] just 'cause.[2] I am no longer going to be tempting the fates by trying to guess whether I'm done.
- April 2024: I think I'm done with the structural changes at this point: I added a description property in the posts index, made dark and high-contrast themes, and wrote a Python function that will convert Markdown files to HTML so I can write in MD (which is really much more convenient). Also, posts now show up in chronological order on the projects page (as opposed to reverse chronological in all the other post lists), which is how I wanted it.
- March 2024, take 2: I went and rebuilt this site from the ground up using Zonelots with a couple of key changes. The main thing I did was add a "projects" property that functions like tags do.
- March 2024: A year on, and I'm still working through things. I've uploaded most of what I've got on AO3, and I've made very slight adjustments to the color palette.
2023
- March 2023: Everything is brand new. I technically made this site in December, but I hadn’t done anything with it until this month. I started with a site template made by sadgrl.online, but I think that I’d changed everything but the flexbox structure and media query by the end of the first day. I’m also working on incorporating some JS elements, primarily the tooltips.[1]
