Dev Log!

WELCOME TO MY DEV LOG!

Decided to make a dedicated page continuing the contents of my sidebar box, since a lot of my updates are more minimal. Plus, I figured it'd be fun to kinda "journal" my journey learning how to deal with HTML! That... and honestly updating the sidebar/navbar is annoying bc I have to navigate through every existing page on this site to copy-paste the code (I am a bit lazy lol).


THIS MONTH'S UPDATES

December 21, 2024: Updated my about page by changing out previous flag stamps and adding some new ones! We're in our comfortable era, so I've begun to pick up some additional xenogender labels because... why the fuck not.

December 18, 2024: Added placeholder text for the upcoming gift exchange writings I'll be publishing! Fics will be added to the site but there will not be navigational links until the deadlines come around.

December 14, 2024: Added a mod page for Minecraft! Decided to also update the gallery code to match those on other sections of my site, while still keeping the gaming(tm) charm.

December 10, 2024 Begun adding more quotes to my about page! This is going to be a multi-day project as I've found myself incredibly sick and sifting through code actually makes me nauseated

December 9, 2024: I have altered the pronouns, pray I do not alter them further (... I use any/all now!)

December 6, 2024: Had to manually edit the pages for one last time... hopefully. because I finally added a chattable page!! Came on later in the day to customize the stylesheet and make it blend in just a little more with my general site theme. Also edited my about page and removed/moved some sections around; re-instated the Formula 1 side of things, my fandoms list, and the quotes that changed my psyche!


2024 ARCHIVED (Show/Hide)

November 30, 2024: Worked on putting up some biographies, and updating the Canon Character directory to (hopefully) reflect all the goobers I plan on writing. Once all of my OCs are moved, I might get to work on updating the RP side of things and whatnot... Maybe

November 24, 2024: Messed around with trying to add an MP3 player to the site. Cried. Gave up. Reformatted the Fursona page with my newfound knowledge on responsive image galleries! Also decided to reformat this page! Now updates are separated and highlight the current month's progress while preserving the years' archives; thought this could be a fun new way to update things. Also-also removed the To-Do list... that is between me and God now ^_^

November 21, 2024: Redid the Art page and OC Art section to include a responsive gallery! Now all of the art I've done, and that I've received, is on full display.

November 20,2024: Added a mod page for The Sims 2! Also tweaked the format of some pages to make it (hopefully) easier to digest.

November 18, 2024: Updated the format of the fursona page!

November 14, 2024: Finally published my WNC Fallout Zine contribution; worked on minor tweaks as well. Been in a bit of a rut so there hasn't been much going on this time around.

October 26, 2024: Established a Call of Duty: Black Ops timeline to include Bell's story before and after surviving the events of BO:CW, as well as tie his story in with the BO6 protag's (Case).

October 13, 2024: Moved the Social Justice Spotlight to its own address! As such, it is once again time to update every page.

October 9, 2024: Haven't done a lot due to dealing with back-to-back hurricanes, but I added a mod guide for Silent Hill 2! I made a section on the social justice page for hurricane-specific relief while I still have power.

September 30, 2024: Noticed that the majority of my images are broken. Those affected seem like images I had to create thumbnails for, and thus used PostImages to create hotlinks. Not sure why this broke suddenly, but this has been fixed! I linked everything internally and resized the images to make thumbnails.

September 28, 2024: Added the remainder of my WIP OCs to my page, as well as shifted around some information. AUs are all now contained on one page (under my RP Hub), there is just one directory for OC biographies (instead of splitting them between the RP Hub and my Character Page). This is to just tidy things up and save a little on site space.

September 12, 2024: Added a Wall of Text page to my sidebar! You can anonymously write anything using the provided link... And ignore me having to once again update every. Single. Page of this site JLDJASLFKJADSLFJ

September 10, 2024: Rewrote this update! Removed Cohost links from my About page as the site is shutting down according to recent reports by staff; also added a direct-to email link to my personal email, as well as a link for my Ko-Fi! I'm not offering commissions right now but the option to tip is there. I've also noticed that trying common fixes does not fix my link color issue... But I did fix the flashbangs! It turns out it was an issue with the Furry Webring, but it's not their faults at all. Since my original button for Ko-Fi did the same thing, I was able to tell it has to do with trying to add JavaScript elements to the site. For some reason, they just refuse to work with me. I had to consult some external sources (shoutout to u/Euchoreutes ; check out his site HERE. Ultimately, I had to untangle the spaghetti and it resulted... somehow... in me removing my background image to hide a bitter container tag.

August 29, 2024: Redid my navigation and have implemented my Modding Center(tm), where all my mod lists will be linked and have separate pages! This means, once again, I have had to go through every page on the website... Whoops! But now, we have individual game pages AND a new addition :}

August 23, 2024: Finally finished the new portrait project. It took a few days because collecting screenshots (and making more characters that I haven't yet) has been tough. But! The pages are updated now.

August 19, 2024: Working on updating the OC biographies with new portraits. Some appearances may change, and some parts of the site may not load right as I work through this change. But this update *should* be finished today since the Photoshop side is easy.

August 17, 2024: Updated my OC directories to include new characters, and posted a fanfic for the first time in a hot minute! Still sort of figuring out the link colors and flashbang on the home page. I at least know the latter now is an issue with the background image and not the Furry Webring like I'd initially thought. Still not sure quite what to do about it though, as removing the background image would result in a massive site-wide overhaul. Probably going to have to anyway given the link color issues... But I'll keep looking at that!

August 2, 2024: Made aware of errors regarding link colors, working on troubleshooting that. Updated Skyrim modlist to include the guide I used for PC as well as any tweaks/notes that were prevalent during my personal installation process. Also renamed "Skyrim Mods" to "Elder Scrolls Mods"... meaning that I had to go through every page on the site to update the navigation accordingly.

July 2, 2024: Re-adjusted the Roleplay section of my site by putting the rule categories behind Show/Hide boxes, as well as created a mirrored link of my OC biographies so that they were easier to find (opposed to viewing my general OC page, which contains AUs, ships, and other miscellaneous information.) Also began prepping the canon biographies page, including listing current characters and any work-in-progress ones.

June 28, 2024: Broke down the updates section into months! That way y'all can find the most up-to-date information and find the latest stuff first.

June 25, 2024: Took a well-needed break from HTML stuff, but came back to prepare the upload of a fic, continue work on transferring biographies, and work on updating my Social Justice page. These changes are going to be the crux of any work I end up doing for the foreseeable future, so the next update will only be if I complete something or stray away from that.

June 11, 2024: Amended the link on my writings page re: Fics for Gaza, as Tumblr has deleted my post without warning and without reason (amid their mass banning of Palestinians this week for "spam and harassment" by asking for help during a genocide).

June 7, 2024: Worked on adding more OC pages between dealing with surprise Tumblr notoriety (called out the site's transmisogyny). Also removed the chatbox as it wasn't working! So that once again meant I had to re-update every single page on the site... whoops!

June 6, 2024: Reformatted the few OC biographies I had uploaded to the site to follow the rest of my site's themeing. It's easier for me to edit that way. Which means I'm more likely to actually finish transferring my OCs here-

June 1, 2024: Happy Pride! Updated my homepage for the month, but will probably keep the layout because I find it cute. Simplified the home page, added Heaven Will Be Mine (HWBM) to my fandoms list, and began adding quotes from it onto my about page!

May 29, 2024: Considered adding a gifs gallery to my Art page, but realized I simply did not have the storage for it (and didn't want to risk losing the ability to edit this site via not paying the monthly subscription). That said, here's a piece of trivia for you: I have made over 160 Hitman (video game) gifs this year... so far.

May 28, 2024: Added Hitman to my fandoms list because I forgot to.

May 27, 2024: Not much of a site update, but! I've been busy helping a close friend with her thesis, and that's really cool. But I have noticed a small loading delay on the main page of this site. I'm not sure what that has to do with anything, because my code looks fine (I think). It may be a js issue with the FurryRing widget, so please bear with it! I apologize for any inconvinience. It's a known issue afaik.

May 18, 2024: Signed up to become a part of FurryRing! Added the widget to my main page. Also added a few new resources to the Social Justice Spotlight.

May 16, 2024: Added an art gallery! It's tucked under my Creative Corner dropdown menu... Which means I had to go back and update every page again to reflect the new navigation. Also made minor changes to my RP Hub page, such as redacting my hiatus status, making sure my Tumblr link worked, and adding a link to my OC page.

May 14, 2024: Added all my existing OCs to the Characters page, which means the only thing I have left to do with them is transfer the bios I have from Google Sites.

May 10, 2024: Added a Not Found page, since apparently you can customize that? Very cool! Now, if you try a URL that doesn't work, you should get a funky little guy on your screen.

May 7, 2024: Reformatted the dates here! Also added a few more things to the Social Justice Spotlight. Mostly tinkered around adding to different smaller things while ranting to my partner about the aforementioned series. I will be deconstructing it in a fuller review, actually.

May 6, 2024: FINISHED the Social Justice Spotlight transfer, even though I started work on it much later into the day. Spent most of the actual day grooming my dog (bath, haircut, nail trim; she got the works). I started watching the Fallout series on Amazon Prime! I may have to make a coherent review and put it into my writings tab... Maybe.

May 5, 2024: Happy Revenge of the Fifth! I worked outside and around the home today, but I also went through and made more work on updating the Social Justice Spotlight content. I chipped away where I could, and re-did the Carrd to have a link to this new hub of information. Also added to Commander Shepard interviews page. Also also watched the Miami Grand Prix today, congrats Lando Norris for getting his first career win! Added a bit to my About talking about the drivers I cheer on, for any other fans!

May 4, 2024: May the Fourth be with you! Spent today resting and playing SWTOR while bed-bound.

May 3, 2024: Took the day off because I've been having migraines throughout last night and today. Same problems as yesterday, lot of eyestrain and pain right around that area. They haven't gotten better with medication, so I'll be taking tomorrow off well.

May 2, 2024: Created this page, added all WIP OCs to my characters page, updated the navbar to include a link to my Social Justice Spotlight content. Began adding links to the new Social Justice Spotlight, but did not finish this process due to eyestrain and physical health.
