9 Bright Updates

Uh, the domain is probably going to go on a more official hiatus soon, both because I want to drastically reorganize the content and change the backend to something more complex and educational for me, and also because I don't really have regular internet access anymore. But if there's anything you really want to see me do with my crazy collection of sites, now's a good time to tell me?

Also, Renaissance got a bunch of small updates, including a new affiliate and fanart. The latter is by me, and thus, crappy.

So, yesterday I gave endgame a facelift. I've been meaning to do this for a while, because as much as I love Lezard, I hated those layouts I made with him in them. The thing is with Endgame I've been trying to stick to a villain theme, especially the crafty kinds, because those are about the only sort I like. And after trying and failing to make a Gizel Godwin layout I was satisfied with, I just went for the ultimate scheming bastard and stuck him on a page with lots of primary colors. I'm pretty much not going to be able to top this character for the theme, so I might as well bring him out early and get it over with.

Endgame likewise has some updated links. I deleted the Soul Caliber section because I realized I don't care about Soul Caliber. (Even if Lloyd is in it!) But I added a Valkyrie Profile section and a lot of new sites, so that makes me happy.

Renaissance likewise has some new links. It's also the spotlight site at e_dimension's domain at the moment. (Janice is always way too nice to me!)

Valiant Knife gets itself a new link exchange. I also installed an RSS script that puts the entries here on the front page of the site. (seasonalplume's stuff runs half of my site.)

Plugging: Two new(ish?) Final Fantasy shrines, Shinobi and Poltergeist. I've been enjoying the read :)

That's right, it's done. There are probably still some stuff that's off, especially because my connection has been iffy for the past week and a half, and the server's been down for an hour, but, goddamnit, I finished typing up all the pages, and it should work now.

I've been so ashamed about Renaissance for basically a year, because this should be my site, the one that defines what my shrines are about. I've had this thing since 2003, for goodness sakes. It's Locke. I love Locke. And even if it's never been my most popular site by any stretch, Renaissance was always supposed to be my best.

And then I switched my domains when I was halfway through a revamp, lost a bunch of files, and switched computers, and it lingered in this horrible nether-dimension of half existence and outdated links. Over the summer I wasn't inspired to work on it, but I held off on all my other ideas for other sites because this one should be up first, dammit, and it kind of stunted my creativity. When I actually let myself work on other projects the motivation to work on this one came back naturally. But still, it's unacceptable. And now that it's done I don't know if it was worth the wait.

Still, I, uh, think I rewrote or added something to every page. Some of the content has been rearranged and put under different headings, or been combined with other pages, but it's all still there. Uh, yeah, lots of stuff. Two great new affiliates that I didn't add for way, way too long. A few new content pages, including one for Locke's hair and that essay about rebirth that I wanted to write for a while. So. Renaissance. It's done.

I've been spending most of my time working on the Locke Site That Would Not Die, or, evidently, let me revamp, and I'm kinda trying to not work on other things till I get that done. Hence, no updates. Oh, don't act like you cared :P I have a huge backlog of link updates and affiliation stuffs I'll do this weekend. I'm horrible, it's just that I want Renaissance to at the least fit the name.

But I adopted the Master & Commander fanlisting, and I gave Just Deserts a new layout. Yeah, I don't know what's up with that one, it confuses me.
