<h1>June 2023 Layout Rewrite</h1>
<center><p>Published on June 23 26, 2023</p></center>
<img src="../layouts/Leilukins-Hub-layout-2023-06.png" alt="A screenshot of Leilukin's Hub home page, with its new layout released on June 23, 2023" width="100%" height="auto">
<p>Happy Pride Month! It is always Pride on this literally <a href="https://isaacfish.neocities.org/webring/" target="_blank">queer-coded</a> (as in, literally coded by a queer person) website, so Leilukin's Hub decided to celebrate Pride Month with a major update — rewriting the entire website's layout!</p>
<p>This new layout remains the same colour scheme as the previous one, which went live in January this year. The most noticeable change you would see in this new layout is the sticky navigation bar, a feature that previously only existed in <a href="/shrines/">my shrines</a>. However, under the hood the HTML, CSS and JavaScript all have been rewritten from the ground up to optimise the site's layout.</p>
<h2>Highlights of the 2023 New Year redesign of Leilukin's Hub:</h3>
<ul>
<li>A new navigation bar throughout the entire website, instead of putting links to this site's pages on the sidebar. The design of this navigation bar is inspired by the dropdown menu bar at the end of this article: <a href="https://webdesign.tutsplus.com/articles/best-practices-for-responsive-dropdown-menus--cms-35212" target="_blank">6 Best Practices for Building Responsive Dropdown Menus</a>.</li>
<li>Rewrite the HTML elements to improve the website's layout.</li>
<li>Use a mobile-first workflow to rewrite the CSS of this website to make the website more responsive to various screen sizes (mobile, tablet and desktop). </li>
<li>Streamline the CSS of the main parts of the site into one CSS file. The only pages that also have their own CSS due to unique elements with custom classes exclusive to the pages are <a href="/mymods/">my mod pages</a>. The shrines still have their own CSS files, however.</li>
<li>Use <a href="https://andy-bell.co.uk/a-modern-css-reset/" target="_blank">Andy Bell's modern CSS reset</a> for the CSS of the entire website.</li>
<li>Use <a href="https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/reusable-html-components-how-to-reuse-a-header-and-footer-on-a-website/" target="_blank">custom HTML elements</a> for components that are shared across multiple pages, including the header, navigation bar and footer</li>
</ul>
<p>Rewriting the layout of this entire website has taken me many hours on this site redesign. Nevertheless, I am very pleased with how it turns out. Enjoy!</p>

<p>With this 2023 new year redesign of this website, the index page, which is for when you visit the link <a href="https://leilukin.neocities.org/">leilukin.neocities.org</a>, you will be presented with a very simple 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>

<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="/changelog/">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>
