It has been a productive year for the website. I got “Games of 2021” out the door on time. I got the appendix updated. I also got my old Blogspot blog brought over and archived.
But I didn’t stop there. I made some changes to my pre-WordPress archives from 2005 through 2010. I cleaned up some of the code. I added more pages, so there are less posts per page. It should flow a little better. I also added a “next” and “previous” navigation at the bottom of each page.
While I was at it, I added anchor ID’s to each post. If I link to a post, it should go straight to it. I added more natural paragraph breaks and made formatting changes.
I added an Index Map. Like the one from my Roy’s Ruckus archive, it has some interesting posts linked, as well as an index for various topics of entertainment.
I completely renamed all of the pages, so I had to update a bunch of links. I wrote a script to find them all, so I should not have missed any. While I was at it, I removed any broken links.
I am really happy with the way both Roy’s Ruckus and the archives turned out.
Another project I finished is my game inventory. I added it to my Sites page. Over 700 games. You can check out some charts, and view the raw data if you have the desire. I learned I need to stop buying video games. I am really excited to use this to keep track of my games.
I just wanted to do a quick update. I got a lot of my web design ambition out of my system, so I am shelving my showcase project for now. I’ll keep it around, and hopefully bring it back. I took a break from video games to work on these projects. I think I am going to jump back in, and play inFAMOUS First Light.
Thank you for reading
