Galactic Void

It's hard to believe that 2024 is already behind us. Although it may seem like there haven't been many noticeable network updates in the past few months, I've been working behind the scenes on Listing Admin's backend coding to better tailor it for our cliques. Currently, I'm troubleshooting a persistent issue with getting multiple favorite fields to work correctly, and I hope to resolve this in the near future.

Additionally, I’ve made some modifications to Enamour’s version of Listing Admin—all links under the "joined," "owned," and "affiliates" sections are now listed by ID numbers rather than by URLs. This change will be expanded in the future to cover individual fanlisting affiliates.

In an attempt to break my streak of inactivity, I am happy to announce that I’ve been approved for one of my favorite subjects. I've also applied for a few more, which are currently pending approval.
  • Space – I have loved the vastness of space, the stars, and the night sky for as long as I can remember. They’ve always held a special place in my heart (no pun intended), and I feel a deep connection to them.
Twitter (X) Update
After much deliberation, I’ve decided to move away from posting network updates on Twitter (or rather, X). Unfortunately, the platform now requires an account to view any tweets. From now on, network updates will be consolidated the old-fashioned way and will be posted here on the website. This approach also benefits the network by encouraging visitors to check the domain for future updates.



Ongoing Design Improvements

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been diving into tutorials, primarily focused on HTML5 and learning about Semantic HTML. While these concepts have been around for quite some time, I had previously overlooked them due to a reluctance to change old coding habits. Currently, I’m experimenting with how responsive layouts work, alongside reviewing the source codes of others to study their approaches. My goal is to implement these techniques in the future, specifically for mobile and tablet devices.

We are well aware that nearly 90% of our designs are static (meaning the content and layout do not adjust based on the device being used). Converting everything to a fully responsive format will require significant time and effort, especially considering the number of projects that still demand attention. Unfortunately, there are too many fanlistings and network sites that need updating, and we acknowledge that we should have started fixing our outdated coding practices long ago.

As a result, our current priority is to implement semantic HTML on newer sites that are already coded in DIV (table-less) formats. These are relatively simple to convert, and we aim to integrate them into our workflow before tackling the more complex older designs.



2 FLs & Future Ideas

As we step into a new month, I am pleased to announce the launch of two new fanlistings now available on Enamour. Among these, I decided to completely rebuild one of the layouts from scratch, as I found no connection to the initial design. I'm happy with this decision, and the final result has met my expectations. Please feel free to join any or all of these fanlistings if you're a fan of them as well.
  1. Mochi Ice Cream - One of my favorite types of ice cream, featuring a layer of mochi on the outside. Growing up, I often visited one of the best stores that sold ice cream mochi, which was incredibly popular among locals.
  2. Layouts – As a layout hobbyist and enthusiast, designing and creating my own layouts has always been a fulfilling pastime. I take great pleasure in observing my growth over the years, appreciating the art that can be made digitally.
There are many exciting plans ahead for the network, though the ongoing challenge with layout design has been a significant factor in delaying the completion of some projects. I deeply appreciate everyone who has taken the time to visit the domain. Your feedback is always valued and continues to serve as motivation to keep the site running smoothly. I hope to complete these ongoing projects by the end of 2024.
