CHANGELOG

Sitewide updates and changes recorded here.

Personal website became more personal

July 29th 2026

To show that I haven't forgotten how to code, I went and made a blog page.

INDEX

I've been wanting to make a place to store my feelings since I wasn't completely sold on Dreamwidth. I've always liked writing about my thoughts and environment but struggled to know where to dump it. At least now I don't need to buy another journal.

I also went and decided to use Big Cartel instead of Etsy for my store. I won't be posting a ton of listings so I figured the free plan for BC is probably my best bet. I don't like how Etsy turned out and how cluttered their platform is. Once I become committed to running an online store, I may find my own hosting and make it to where the store will be on my own site. That'll be a while though. Right now there's nothing in the shop, but when I do add some listings, I'll have an update posted on the front page of my site.

Since I want to use this site for my business stuff, I'll have to go and make this place a little more mobile friendly. I'll be working on the index page and somehow make it responsive. Then the other major pages like CH-ROM and the Lab will follow.

Changing Directions

October 28th 2025

Small update, felt like my site hasn't been following up to what I created it for.

INDEX

I've seen some stuff about how most guestbooks are just randomly placed by webmasters to feel more like the "old indie web" and it made me realize that I was just following what other sites were doing to fit in. Unsure if I want to keep the chatbox in the sidebar, it looks alright for now. I don't want to get rid of every piece of interaction from the site.

The "Starport" had a "Federation" member list that was supposed to be a way to show sites that mutually shared buttons with this site, while also following in with this site's theme/lore. It feels kinda awkward having it since no one ever notifies me when they link my button and the ones that were on that list were found by me browsing around. It simply failed it's purpose and will be tossed out, I'll still have the link page to add in cool sites that I find.

I tried (and failed) to make the link names based off of places that would be in the Conservatory, but it feels too confusing and cringe so I'll just use simpler names for site links. Only exception is the "Creative District" which is the menu on the top of the page. Another exception will be for the "Verpon" pages.

I was beginning to hate the site, but I think I hated it because I felt like no one was looking at it. Next year I want to focus on making more stuff for the site and not care too much about viewer counts or site interactions. This is my own space that I created so it shouldn't matter who is visiting as long as I'm doing this for myself.

Next few updates should revolve around adding more art and some more adjustments to current pages.

An End to a Hiatus (Hopefully)

September 4th 2025

Last update was all the way back in January, I'm not all the way back into the groove but I did want to do some refreshing on the site's appearance as well as clean up some of the code before the year ends.

OBSERVATORY

INDEX

Verpon is where I seperate my art and my personal interests. I plan on making different "buildings" for various subjects I feel like documenting and sharing. This will be another large project that might take a long time for me to find a style for, but I'm excited to make a piece of the site something more personal and a way for me to express myself to visitors!

The previous link names carried over from the older version of the site and I forgot to change them to match the new layout. I've been struggling to figure out names for the worldbuilding aspect of the site, the links in the sidebar are still open to change once I start writing more.
