Nothing too exciting today; going to be editing a lot of pages to replace some unweildy PNGs we forgot about (the fancy florals in the background of the main text) with JPGs for better loading. Getting the hang of website optimization!

Still a little frazzled but getting over it. Little thumbs up of thanks for the kind words from everyone.

We genuinely might have to remove the references to plurality from our main site. The tl;dr is that one of our parents found out that we're still publishing books, and is REALLY intent to have the books / look at our seller page for the books. She's a lovely person but I don't know that she would understand or believe the plurality. So, uh, we have to be more . . . "presentable."

We're going to move our plurality stuff to our side site eventually (the-novelry), so it's not going away! It's just getting moved. And the rest of the charm of the site should remain as-is. Not going to remove the royal "we," just gonna have a different explanation for it.

We're happy to give her our books. Just not the information that we're plural.

We might remove the front site. It's not useful anymore.

A lot of stuff is going to be hidden until we can transfer it into the side side. Do not panic. (Said while panicking, admittedly.)

I understand that, if I knew one of my parents was gonna look at my website Id remove stuff too ^^;

Added a nice little overlay to highlight images with links when ou hover over them. Also overhauled parts of the Design Showcase. Hopefully these changes make certain pages load faster now!

Mostly just trying to get some alt text and titles added to some of these images. In good news, Starlit Prince has a cover now!
