Added this update log!
Formally added a bunch of features, including the Miscellany section, the Project Update Threads, and more.
Added Listening List entries from when I started keeping track in mid-June, up through July 1st.
Finished the first entry in How To Cook Shit
Started in on two additional entries
Minor CSS updates, including different colors when hovering over the menu

Added post 14, the Jazz Program schedule for July.
Mucked with the CSS again, specifically to (hopefully) make links easier to sus out.
Added a couple minor edits to Post 13.

Added posts 15, 16, and 17 over the past week, and photo rolls 4 and 5 this evening.
Added a “word count/reading time” section to the front matter of each article, so you know what you’re getting into before you get into it.
Updated the Listening List to (mostly) be up-to-date.
Added a couple readability edits to Post 9, and a redaction/correction to Post 13.
Added a line explicitly stating disavowing all use of–and forbidding all training of–AI on this website to the sidebar, as well as a modified robot.txt that should keep away the webcrawlers and scrapers they use. Fuck AI “art” and “writing” and the damage it has done to this industry.

Modified the sidebar to put “blog posts” and “photo rolls” in separate lists. I’m going to be doing a lot more photo roll posts so this was kind of necessary to keep things clean.
Implimented 1337box on the Photo Roll pages.
Uploaded Photo Rolls 6-11, and post 19. I know I’m late on the radio schedule, but I brought lots of photos!
Added as many friends as I could think of to the Links page, as well as my RSS feed list and Freetube subscription list.
Added the Main Site update log.
Added and edited the FAQ again.
Uploaded an actual photo of myself to the About page.
Added in “Share To Mastodon” and “Share By Email” buttons.

hahahah finally uploaded post 20. We’re back to being half a month late on the radio schedule, but it’s the holidays so what can you do.
Uploaded Photo Roll 13 as well.
I have some other stuff to upload hopefully tomorrow or later this week but I want to have this out before tonight’s show so here ya go

Catching up on photo rolls; uploaded Photo Rolls 14 and 15.
Realized that I never actually made a unique header to Post 18; fixed that.
Moved all blog post/photo roll drafts to a separate folder to avoid accidentally posting them early (as happened a few times in November and December; my apologies to all you folks who got your RSS feeds all fucked up because of me)
Finally added an intro to The Listening List, as well as a few initial entries to The Usual Suspects. Still need to add December’s listens, though; that’ll be next.
Happy New Year!

Finish implementing 1337box on all remaining pages where applicable.
Add an Old Time Radio list to the Links page, with all the sources I usually list on my radio writeups.
Make intro pages to the “Blog Posts” and “Photo Rolls” pages to explain what makes them special.
Add alt text to everywhere it’s not already implemented. I want to make this site as screen-reader friendly as possible.
Add a digital copy of my Zettlekasten via Tiddlywiki
Add my commonplace book.
Actually finish adding all the links I want to add to the links page.
Finish updated the Listening List to be as current as possible. (Ongoing)
