...Is it 4.0? I'm pretty sure I've platform-hopped about three times since good ol' dcNET first hit the web, so yeah, 4.0. 3.0? But if I'm counting from dcNET and two of the platform-hops were under the old name, wouldn't that mean this is Altered Origin 2.0? Uh. Whatever!
Welcome to the new site! As I've mentioned before, this latest reincarnation was generally just to make things easier to manage and a little leaner and meaner. Out with the WordPress backend, in with a nice little static site generator. I'm sure that means nothing to most of you, so instead of continuing to talk about how nerds run their websites, let's have a quick tour of what's changed around here!
I've been making headway on that site revamp, and since I'm pretty close to done I figured it was high time to make the announcement official. I'm hoping to make the switch sometime in the next few days—maybe even as soon as tomorrow (Wednesday the 30th). Given that I'm actually transitioning the site to a less complicated system there shouldn't be any major hiccups, but I apologize in advance if there are any difficulties during the update. You may also need to clear your browser's cache once it's done for everything to display properly.
A few things will be different around here once the dust settles:
I'll have more details about what's different, what's gone and what's new after the switch is complete. Hang tight, and thanks in advance for your patience. See you on the other side!
...hey, it's still the 27th in a few islands out there in the Pacific, so I am totally not late! I did a few things to celebrate the 20th anniversary and the days leading up to it, and I thought I'd post them here as well! There are several new pictures in the fanart gallery, and there's also *gasp* a new fanfic! Said fic may still get a few tweaks here and there in a little while—I'm rushing to post it while it's still the 27th somewhere out there, so it hasn't gotten quite as much proofreading as it probably needs. Still, hopefully it makes for a nice anniversary read!
I should also point out a few housekeeping things: first of all, comments have been turned off for now. Not too many people were using them... aside from a ton of spammers, and I was getting a little tired of having to clean up behind them. I'm not quite sure when they'll be returning; we'll have to see.
Part of the reason I'm not sure when they'll be returning is because I'm getting closer to the completion of the latest site revamp, which will change a lot of backend structure and thus force me to use a different commenting solution anyway should I decide to bring them back. Since I'm so close to getting the new thing set up, I'm not planning on updating much until it's ready (I only bothered today since it is a holiday, after all). Another announcement will go up when the actual switch approaches.
I hope you enjoyed Pokémon Day in whatever ways you chose to celebrate it! I'll probably still be around and kicking as long as Pokémon has inspiration to share, so who knows? Perhaps I'll have a little something-something to do for the series' next major anniversary, too. :)
Out with the old year, in with the new year! You know what that means...
(Let's pretend last January 1st never happened, hm?)
