Tonight was the night of much needed updates and improvements to this here blog. It’s been a while since I spent a considerable amount of time doing anything major, but I did make some kinda-sorta-major updates, but those were mainly to the back end system. Hope everyone who’s visiting keeps enjoying it (or starts?)!
