I added rounded images to my site some time ago, but it was done in a way that caused small images to look—well—bad. I added a new [simg] BBCODE that will turn off the rounding.
While fixing that, I also added a new header tag that will let you use the category image at the top, even if there is an image elsewhere in the message. Useful for where I use small images that aren’t fit for large displays. At the same time, smilies won’t get used either.
I’m attempting to speed up my site using some in-line styles. So far it appears to be working, but let me know if you see anything odd.
I ran across another site that made tags appear as hashtags. Kind of makes sense, giving the rise of their use. Another neat feature was showing the count of use. Testing something similar on my site, it was an easier change than expected. I like the look so far.
I cleaned up my categories, mostly trimming them down to a manageable number and adding descriptions. I may still tweak some more, but they work for now.
Also, I updated the category images to use larger, higher resolutions. They will now be displayed in the top, title area. Although updated, I decided to remove the category image from the news article itself as it was redundant.
I cleaned up a bunch of the internals to the site, mostly matching themes and fixing layouts.I also fixed an editing bug that would cause comments to get get un-nested. Having changed my username a few times over the years, when I edit an article it will now set it to the current one.
As a final change, I replaced the primary pots image with a new moon one. It’s kind of a pain to change, so I’ve noted a future idea to make it editable.
