MayDB.net Update Log Introduction ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is the update log for my personal website. I've decided that most people probably aren't all that interested in the exact changes I make on every update presented in raw text form. I also wanted to use the newfound space on the front page to hold "Updates" that are written in a more digestible and interesting way. So the front page updates will contain bits on the updates, as well as updates on what I'm doing with the site and sort of serve as mini blog posts. But then if I just dedicated the updates bit of my page to that, I'd have nowhere to store every raw change made per update which is something I've wanted to do. So as an attempt at compromise I've made this file. If you're here, uh, hello! I appreciate that you care enough about my digital hovel to read this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Update Log (Sorted newest to oldest) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 04-03-2025 [Main Site]: Added a new footer as well as a little message to the bottom of all articles.
