Very short post-Citrus Con update! New stuff:

• Added new links to the links page! If we met through Citrus Con and I didn't link to your website, please do let me know!
• Added Litleo emotes to the resources page.
• Added a bunch of webrings, cliques, and listings! Maybe I'll make one of my own someday...

This will probably definitely be this month's last official update. I want to work on writing more pages and start working on shrines... Not to mention I need to fix all the accessibility stuff... Thank you everyone for your kindness, this has been surprisingly rewarding to work on. My heart is very full (and not only of love for Kalos, for once..!)

Okay I know I said I wouldn't update until next month but that was a lie. So here's a tiny update before I go to real life Kalos next week:

• Added a webring spot which is very much a WIP right now because I need to get approved for more webrings first. Please pretend it's not there for now.
• Archived a new old(?) entry in the opinions corner.
• Corrected one (1) typo. I should have proofread more before releasing the site, I guess!

Here we are! A few more updates before we go:

• Adjusted some of the colors again. I think they're fine for now...
• Finished the page about Lysandre's fate and fiddled with some kind of pure CSS tab system. It could probably be better but it's fine for now.

I'm releasing this website into the world... Please be well-behaved. I don't know when the next update will be; probably not until next month. I have a lot I'd like to add and I'll endeavor to do my best not to get too distracted...

The latter half of May ended up getting too crazy for me to work on the site anymore, alas, but in preparation of attempting to have something I can show off tomorrow, here's a brand new update:

• Made a changelog page, which is actually mostly a to-do list page right now.
• Hosted the flying Lysandre pixel on here, because for some reason this whole time I had kept the original Tumblr link...
• Switched everything that had to be switched around and made up a basic 404 page for now. (Hopefully it won't be needed, but you never know!)
• Fixed some HTML weirdness.

I'm putting the high contrast theme on the backburner for now, but it'll be my priority as soon as I have more time to put into the site again. I'm just not in the right headspace right now.

I'd really like to be able to open this week-end... So:

• Fixed some more CSS stuff so I can finally sit down and make a higher contrast/readability theme.
• Restructured some of the existing pages.
• Started working on the page about Lysandre's fate.
• Added new buttons to the Links page.
• Added my ranking/rating of Lysandre's TCG cards. The mobile version is not great but it'll do for now.

Life comes at you fast, but here's some new stuff:

• Reworked some stuff on the resources page.
• Added pixel dolls.
• Created the page to talk about Lysandre's fate in X&Y, but didn't fill it yet.
• Created the page for Lysandre's lines, and mostly used it to test out tables.
• Edited the sitemap accordingly.

---

▪ 12/05/25
I need to make a changelog page at some point... Anyway:

• Finished formatting the French Lysandre page! I'll probably give it another reread tomorrow, but it's basically done, minus the screenshots which are a problem for the future.
• I think I'd like to transfer my stuff about Lysandre being presumably alive at the end of the games, too, considering how often that topic comes up. Then all I'll have left is the accessibility things. Yippee!

Little update today:

• Formatted more of the French Lysandre stuff; basically finished. Need to add some details and a closing notes section.

---

▪ 10/05/25
Had to go out today so not much time was dedicated to website stuff... But!

• Started working on formatting the French Lysandre stuff. The footnotes are working well, which is nice and encouraging. I really need to take the time at some point to take nice screenshots to add to it.
• Edited the sitemap accordingly.

---

▪ 09/05/25
Guess what. New:

• Made bigger banners for linking back purposes because why not.
• Added a little FAQ to the about page.
• Added a few more buttons.
• Tidied the CSS so I can figure out the theme switcher more easily, and took the opportunity to fix some of the contrast in the base colorscheme. Also added footnote integrations, which should hopefully help with meta and such!
• Whipped up something simple for the mobile header.

I'm running out of funny ways to say I'm working on this, so I'm working on that. Things:

• Wrote something for the mission statement page, finally. Please clap.
• Made Now! buttons for every Kalos pokémon. Added them to the buttons page.
• Added more links to the links page. Always on the lookout for more Pokémon fansites or subsites...

Feeling like I'm slowly making my way toward the finish line. Today's stuff:

• Set up the meta & resources pages with some of the content I already had for them. I'd really like to have at least the French Lysandre stuff set up before I can declare this site shareable, so this is my next goal on that front.
• Edited the sitemap accordingly.
• Set up a new header and footer! Not sure about the header still, and I need to figure out what I want for the mobile version, but it's better than placeholders.
• Resisted the urge to start working on shrines even though I really really really want to...

---

I'm keeping up with this, somehow. At this rate I might even be done this month (at least when it comes to having something I can share around!) New stuff for today:

• Tinkered with the 404 page a little bit more. Still unsure about it, but we'll see.
• Started setting up the sitemap.
• Edited the sidebar for what I HOPE is the last time. Make up your mind, Samifer!!!

Busy busy... New & improved:

• Coded the splash page most of the way. Not sure if I'll keep the silly CSS effect but I'm weirdly attached to it now.
• Changed the font to Space Mono. I think I do like it better but I'm worried about readability. Will have to seek out outside opinions.
• Created the guestbook and embedded it with an iframe. I kind of want to make a special image for it but for now Litleo will do.
• Set up the meta, resources, shrines, and opinions pages, although they're technically still empty.
• Did some more styling, to go with the new pages.
• Started coding the 404 page I've been envisioning for a while, with mixed results (but I will persevere!!!)
• Sketched tentative replacements for the header and footer.

▪ 04/05/25
Busy with other stuff today, but managed to do this:

• Drew the splash art! Still need to code the page though.

---

▪ 03/05/25
Still at it! New stuff:

• Filled up the links page. Probably won't touch it again for a bit.
• Tinkered with the sidebar more. I think I'm happy with it now.
• Figured out how to style this div so I don't have to give everything a class, yippee!

---

▪ 02/05/25
Working hard or hardly working... Recent additions:

• Added text to the about page.
• Moved updates to the home page. (Hello!)
• Added links to the about page.
• Added buttons to the links page (though not all of them yet...)
• Added credits to the links page.
• Made more buttons for the site, as a treat.
• Created all of the main pages.
• Made an email for the site.

Back at it again in the Prism Tower. Finally put the CSS into a sheet. Trying to figure out some of the styling again. Most of the site is still under construction or using placeholders, but I'd really like to have something I can copypaste stuff into by the end of May, maybe...

▪ 09/03/24
This is the date I officially started to work on this website. I felt like I had to immortalize it.
