Layout Changes

There has been a few small changes with my main site recently, and I thought I would point them out in case anyone liked the old layout better.
  1. The number of posts displayed per page has been reduced from 5 to 1. This will help dial-up users load my blog faster and create a more judicial use of my site index (this decision has been reversed in 2009).
  2. The "Quick Reference" links have been moved to the bottom of the page; I have felt that the right-hand side of my blog was getting cluttered, especially with the new shout box (this decision has been reversed in 2010).
  3. My display picture has been changed. 
  4. A new link called "Beastmaster Blogs" has been added as a convenient reference to other blogs that I enjoy. If you are wondering why some sites do not have their latest entries below their names, it is because those blog owners have disabled the use of live feeds.

    Retroactive Continuity (retconning) is the act of changing documents well after they have been published, established, etc., and I happen to retcon a lot. In addition to my normal editing, I have decided that I wanted to keep my older posts neat and tidy while fixing grammatical mistakes at the same time. So while it seems like I have not been posting a lot, I have been:
    • updating my "BST leveling Guide" links
    • fixing incorrect spacings between pictures and text (Blogger tends cause these problems a lot)
    • correcting my hyphens usage
    • fixing minor/major errors (spelling, nominalization)
    • getting rid of old Snippy Cam pictures
    • updating my "Glossary & Acronyms" page
    • updating older pages with corrections and new information
    • renaming posts to be more descriptive
    Please bear with me as I update and correct my old posts. I will be posting my progress as I go, but it will take a while to proofread everything. The checklist will be updated as I go, and new posts will come out when I am finished with everything. Thank you for your patience.
