SP Happenings #8

So much for the idea of going straight to the new design without another site update in between. As it turned out, I will need to run all the content through the converter again (since Blackthorne TA did another welcome modification to it), so I concluded that another regular site update is inevitable. I will also be busy studying in RL for the next month or so, so the new site design will have to wait till I'm done with that. I will work on it in the background, however, as much as time permits. Now that we are nearing finalization of the new content engine, all sorts of issues are popping up (like site navigation) which seemed trivial until we actually got around to taking a closer look at them. But we are close to capping the new layout, and once that is done, things will be much easier.

Gopher is gone on a 3 week holiday, so the SP merchandise will also have to wait until he gets back. When I thought we were already done with it, such an incredibly big blunder was discovered, that it still amazes me how we managed to miss it with staring at the images for literally weeks. (In case you are curious, it is just one character in a word that is misspelled, but it completely alters the meaning of the quote. And it will have to be fixed on a number or merch images, of course.)

The upcoming site update should go up in the next few days.
