< 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 " Enter" 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 >
