Time to dust off this topic. :eyes:

I've been doing some maintenance on pretty much all my shrines earlier this week to add or edit minor things, mostly to bring things up to my current standard and to make some elements consistent across my shrines. (ugh I shouldn't be spending so much time on that because it's barely noticeable, but knowing that they're inconsistent just bothers me. :sob:) Yay for coloured scrollbars (at least in Chrome) and highlight text!! :yay: :yay: :swt: I'll use this opportunity to list some other additions that happened since I last posted in here and that I haven't plugged at the forums.

Additions
  • Baton Pass (Kyoko Honda from Fruits Basket)
    I plugged this shrine after the Furuba marathon ended last year, but with about three pages missing, it wasn't complete. Those pages were added about a month later last April: Resonance > "Encore", Finish Line > "Symbolism" and "Comparative Romance". I also added navigation between the pages of a section this week, something I have applied/will be applying to various shrines with a similar set-up.
  • In Control (Yuyuka Nekota from Daytime Shooting Star)
    I've expanded/rewritten the "Site" page, as I have always felt that my own appreciation for Yuyuka didn't come across as strongly in the content that I had up, and do have strong feelings on that subject in a context that goes beyond what's already been covered on the shrine. :|a Turned out to be a rant about the portrayal of female pride in fiction, and female friendships specifically in shoujo manga - and how those differ from their male counterparts. Last April, I also added Trivia > "Fashion". :yay:
  • Jamais Plus (Le Petit Prince: The Musical)
    Ugh I hadn't realized how dark the text on this shrine was, so I've made it brighter and hope it's better now. I've added fancybox utility to make all music videos open in lightbox with autoplay (and runtime clearly marked), since I assume it was a hassle to check out these things if you needed to switch to another tab or were constantly taken off-site.
  • Some other minor quality of life updates.
    As of now, it's mostly my Cephiro and Rose shrines that are terribly outdated in terms of maintenance, mostly because they're so big. (I skipped them last April when I was doing maintenance across the network too. :|) It's intimidating to think about going in and making all the edits that I've been applying to the other shrines. I hope I'll get around to them this year, or maybe even do a bigger revamp, depending on how it goes.

Wow, Lethe! You are always so organized and efficient! Love the updates. The text in Jamais Plus is definitely easier to see. :)b

New Site
  • Memory Prison (layout archive)
    After a few revamps, I thought it was time to set up a layout archive - better sooner than later!
