WOW. A lot to update on. So firstly, I just spent over 10 hours rebuilding this entire site from scratch. No more iframes! They're gone! I'm now doing what I wanted to do before, which is load the sidebar with JavaScript in every page. And yes, everything is available on its own page now, which means I can actually link to specific ones. Because of the way it loads the sidebar, I changed all relative links like ../assets/pic.png to be direct to the location, so I hope I haven't missed any. Let me tell you, it was a huge pain manually reformatting all my posts, and I don't even have that many! Should I look into one of those static site generators? Probably. But for now, I'm happy with jank.

Anyway, the main reason I overhauled everything was to make it responsive! Apparently everyone these days just browses sites on their phone, and my previous site was completely unusuable on anything smaller than the laptop screen I'm using to write this. Now the site should scale with smaller screens, and even hides some of the extra features to make it simpler for use, and my friends have no excuse to ignore anything I send them. Also, I ran out of things to procrastinate with, so I needed a new project... and now I'm out again. I'll keep adding stuff here and there when I can, though. It doesn't look perfect on mobile, especially some of the image layouts, but it's usable as far as I know.

I got rid of the landing page. It wasn't cool enough to keep the extra click. I have a home page instead, but don't really know what to put on it. I guess I'll have a think or look around for some inspiration.

Overall, I'm really happy with how everything turned out. It's much of the same, but so much better, and should make future improvements easier too. Although, by "future improvements" I really hope I don't expect myself to remake everything from scratch again. At least, not this year.
