Devlog Revamp!

 What has two thumbs and revamped the blog today? DIS BITCH!

The old system was kind of just cobbled together from containers and text boxes in Carrd blocks, which was serviceable short-term. But long-term, there were too many disadvantages to it - updating was a complex process, you couldn't search the entries, no tagging system, and it took up a lot of space. Plus, I couldn't figure out how to make new Disqus boxes for each entry, so all comments would have been only on the latest one.

So I'm gonna solve it with an iFrame now, embedding a Blogger blog that also exists separately. Soooo man advantages: Easier posting, comments under past entries, I'll actually be notified via email when you comment, I think you can even follow this as an RSS feed if you find checking the website tedious. Also removes a lot of bloat from my Carrd page, woo!

I put all posts into the archive, so you can still access them and they are correctly dated.

This weekend, I might not get much done for Alyon btw. Not that anyone expects it lol, I feel like some people probably already feel like I ping them nigh daily with updates. But I'm penciled in to go on some grass touching missions.

Also, may I just thank you all real quick? It means the world to me how many chats I see with my characters, even though I sometimes cringe a bit about how shallow they feel without the lorebook. ;u; But as more platforms incorporate lorebooks, I hope we can soon make this world really shine! 

EDIT: The original format was absolutely unreadable on mobile, so I have to take the L and put in the mobile format as well. If you are looking for the search or RSS/Atom feed subscriptions, click "web version" at the bottom and scroll to the right. I'm sorry. ;u;
