I realized this month that the Phantom Project's website hasn't been updated, cleaned up, or really in any way made less embarrassing since I started it. Which was seven years ago. How time flies when I'm being lazy. So therefore you'll see some cleaning up and streamlining going on this week, which will hopefully help keep me more organized and make life easier for all of you that like to visit and don't appreciate being lost in a forest of poorly marked lists.

At the moment, I've updated the following:

  • The Progress Page now separates materials by type and provides better information about their publishing and authoriship. For those of you who have been using it as a list of possible materials for years and struggling through the messy giant list format, hopefully it'll be a little easier on the eyes and the navigating fingers now.
  • Comics now have their own separate page instead of being lost in the flood of other printed works. They deserved it; they're really an art form of their own.
  • Book reviews now have subheadings to separate out childrens' books, fiction and nonfiction, again to help break up these big ugly lists of things.
  • Similarly, film reviews are now separated by feature films and adult films, so it's no longer a surprise when you're clicking along and suddenly porn happens.
  • The iframe situation for the blog is less ugly now, and there are no more terrible nested scrollbars.

That's all for now, but I'm planning to also brush up the FAQ and possibly see what I can do about making the whole place look a little more pleasing to the eye and a little less like what it is, which is someplace I occasionally copy and paste a lot of words and then ignore for weeks at a time. If you have any requests for things you'd like to see or suggestions that would make getting around on the site easier for you, I'm all ears; I can't promise I'll have the skills to pull them off and it's always possible I'll hate your ideas, but most likely I'll be willing to give it a shot in the name of internet harmony.

Back to reviewing for me!
