Here's a short blog post announcing something incredibly inconsequential: I finally touched up the blog's landing page! That page has been mostly unchanged since the beginning in terms of look, with the only thing I ever changed being the welcome blurb written on there (and even that only got minor edits). I'd get the urge to overhaul it now and then, but I'd never follow through because I couldn't think of what else to put, or I was too focused on writing.
After actually taking some time to sit down and think about it, I managed to come up with a landing page that I think looks presentable and has some worthwhile functionality. I've now expanded the page to have links to my major blog categories, added a search bar so people can search straight away without having to navigate here to the blog page, and even switched up the background images. If you didn't already come into this blog entry via the landing page, you can click Home on the navigation bar up top and take a look for yourself. Like I said, this change is largely inconsequential, because the few people who do visit this blog usually do so through the individual blog entry links I post on my socials every time I publish something. In the extremely unlikely chance that someone I know has my blog bookmarked on their browser (let alone remember the URL for it), I would wager that the link they have saved would be the one that goes directly to the main blog page and not the landing page. And of course, if you're old-school and use the RSS feed, you'll only see the blog feed. The point is, most people are not going to see the landing page, but I'm nonetheless happy to have finally updated it with better pictures and more convenient navigation in the event someone does end up on the home page. - end -
