SITE UPDATE-29.5 + 29.5.16

CLICK HERE to go back to the past changes "2015 MONTHS" menu.
V.29.5 + 29.5.16- OK! It's the end of the year! And that means it's time add the 2016 stuff! So, that's what this update is. I set things up to post and update right at the year change. So, 29.5 is the set up, 29.5.16 is checking if it all worked and updated properly! I also refined a few things I added in V.29. Ok, got it? Here's what I did:
  • 2016!
    • It's everywhere! Across all the sites and menus I added 2016 lists. They don't have anything yet though. But the way I have them set up lets them just update by themselves. The only thing I have to add each month is the new Monthly Update. Speaking of menus....
  • Updates to the Menus...
    • I took my idea in V.26 and applied it to other menus. My updates are sorted by years. The idea was that since the year lists in the menus are getting so long, I would switch the order of them. They used to be 2010-2015. That means if you wanted recent updates, you have to navigate down the whole list. So, I changed it to be 2015-2010. Backwards. So the most recent is on the top. I only did it to the Monthly Updates and the Update Blog lists in the Main Site Menu. Well, now I expanded it to the Site Updates in the Main Menu. Also, I did it to the separate menus on those sites. Just to make things easier.
    • I had to change the Site Updates menu a little bit. The list of years were too long. So, I had to split them up by making a MORE section.
    • I also added all the 2015 Monthly Updates to the Main Menu. They got behind...
    • Also, my updates for my Update Blog got behind. So, I removed the unused months in 2015 from all the menus.
  • Video Pages Update...
    • While adding the 2016 section in my videos, I remembered something. I'm still adding videos to The Father's page! I am! I'm still uploading to the channel. I have this idea in mind. So, I updated his page and added a WHOLE PAGE just for my Boots and the videos I made about her. Go check his page out!
  • Lastly, the little things...
    • In the POTW Hover Panel that's in the side bar of the Main Site, I always had a link to a BTS video. Even if there wasn't one. So, using the CSS property "visibility", I made it so it hides when there isn't a video. And when I need it, I just change it from "hidden" to "visible"!
    • I added a "BETA VERSION" section in the bottom bar on the Main Site below the new "CURRENT VERSION" section. It lets you know that I started working on a new update and things might start freaking out. Like if I break the menu. But I'm quick at restoring things back to normal.
    • The Dynamic Drive banner said "The Top Bar and other codes were provided by:" Well, in the last update I rebuilt the Top Bar from scratch. So, it doesn't use any code from them. I made it. It actually used the Bottom Bar's code. So, I changed it to reflect each site. Like the Menu on the Update Blog, I said it was provided by them. Stuff like that.
And that's pretty much it! I didn't add anything new, but that usually happens in X.5 updates. Refine the things you have before adding new messes. This year was a rough one. Things will get better! I don't know when or what will happen. Something will! See you next year!
