<p>In light of a new year, the Leilukin's Hub website has received a new design on 26 January 2023!</p>
<p>I have wanted to rewrite and redesign this site after learning HTML and CSS more and getting better at writing those languages. With Visual Studio Code and the <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ritwickdey.LiveServer">Live Server</a> extension installed, I have also finally found a good workflow for me to write and test HTML and CSS.</p>
<p>Looking at other Neocities websites have also given me more ideas in enhancing my own website. Special thanks to <a href="https://sadgrl.online/">sadgrl.online</a>, whose various web building resources, including the Layout Builder, have helped tremendously in redesigning this site.</p>
<p>With this 2023 new year redesign of this website, the index page, which is for when you visit the link leilukin.neocities.org, you will be presented with a very simple splash page, but when you click the &quot;Enter&quot; button to enter, you will be brought to my website's home page, and can start properly browsing my website, and enjoying the new design!</p>
<p>Highlights of the 2023 New Year redesign of Leilukin's Hub:</p>
<ul>
<li>Uses purple colour schemes primarily, as purple is one of my favourite colours.</li>
<li>Each page category has their own CSS file, allowing me to give certain pages unique elements. However, the site still has a main CSS file to be imported into CSS files of other pages, saving me time to edit the CSS files one by one just to tweak a certain part of the main layout design.</li>
<li>Background image added.</li>
<li>Sidebars added, with the contents being sticky, so you can still see them while scrolling through.</li>
<li>The navigation links are now on the right sidebar. Previously, the navigation links of my website are in a row placed at the header section.</li>
<li>The table of contents of some of my pages is now placed on the left sidebar.</li>
<li>The <a href="/changelogs/">website changelog</a> page adds archives for the layout designs of this site and old changelog.</li>
<li>My <a href="/mymods">video game mod pages</a> have added a filter function, so you can use buttons to view a specific category of mods.</li>
</ul>
<p>After spending many hours on this site redesign, I am very pleased with how it turns out. Hope you enjoy it!</p>
