Updated PC hardware on About page. New MOBO/CPU/RAM!
Added Xbox Series S to the list of consoles on the About page.
Removed Playstation 4 Slim 1Tb and Xbox One X from the list of consoles on the About page.
Updated platform code for Xbox Series S/X to XBSX site-wide.
Got annoyed again at not having posted anything in such a long time.
Finished adding tag links to Developer and Publisher details on posts.
Started adding tag links to Developer and Publisher details on posts.
Darkened page backgrounds to black, where they used to be a dark grey, which looked a bit strange on some screens.
Also changed footer background to a dark red for similar reasons.
Applied a dark theme to the entire site again. After spending some more time with everything I see on a dark theme, I really wasn’t happy with having this blog on a light theme. Maybe I’ll dislike it eventually like I did last time I changed it, but for now I think I’ll stick with it and let it settle in.
Added Playstation 5 Digital Edition to list of consoles on the About page.
Got annoyed at myself for not posting regularly and not posting for a long while
I accidently hit “force dark mode” on the site and I liked it, so I’ve implemented a dark mode design and changed the site colours to suit. I might change it back… right now I like it though.
EDIT: After looking at it longer, I didn’t like it so I changed everything back to the way it was… making this entire entry kind of redundant.
Added “tvOS - Apple TV OS” to platform codes on the About page.
Added “OQ - Oculus Quest” to platform codes on the About page.
Updated ‘Laptop’ hardware with new mouse: Corsair M65 Pro.
Updated ‘PC’ and ‘Laptop’ hardware with new gamepad: Microsoft Xbox One Gamepad.
Added “PS5 - Sony Playstation 5” and “XBX - Xbox Series X/S” to platform codes on the About page.
Added “Stadia - Google Stadia” to platform codes on the About page.
Updated ‘PC’ hardware list with new keyboard: Logitech G815.
Updated ‘Other’ hardware with capture card: Elgato HD60 Pro.
I have added the capture card so that I can start capturing Xbox One X footage properly and am able to write about XBO games on the blog. This will also allow me to capture PS3 games and write about them as well.
Added a page called “Where Are The Games?” with a statement about my absence, along with snippet on Home page. Will be removed after it has been up for a few weeks to a month.
Updated all links in all blog posts to reflect the domain abbysblog.net instead of the old atelierarcade.net, which is now obsolete. Hopefully I got them all.
Also added Xbox One X to the list of consoles on the About page.
Added “AA - Apple Arcade” to game platform list (to be ready for an up-coming game post).
Updated “Other Gear” section on About page to remove art-related hardware and include mobile hardware.
Updated all the links on the archive page to reflect the new domain. This will prevent links breaking when atelierarcade.net eventually expires. Will need to update links within blog posts as well.
I have made some significant changes:
All ‘art’ content has been removed - the blog is ONLY about video games now
Thus, I have removed some pages from the top menu, as well as some irrelevant information from the About page and Home page
URL has been changed - the old URL atelierarcade.net will remain in tact until it expires in December 2019. Until then all the old links should redirect to the new domain
Updated site logo and meta information to reflect the name and content change
New email address: hello@abbysblog.net
New twitter account: @abbysgamingblog
There are still some more things that need to be changed:
Archive links still point to old domain - will updated to new URL so they don’t break when the old domain expires
Might change the header images so they are different on each page, but haven’t decided yet
I’d like to change the layout of the Archive page, but what to?
I’m still waiting on some meta stuff to propagate across the internet, like SEO descriptions etc, but hopefully that will happen within 48hrs
Thinking about adding in some useful categories for gaming posts (so you can sort by genre/etc), but probably wont implement it anytime soon as I doubt it would be utilised all that much
I think that’s about it for now.
Have started the process of transitioning the site to become a purely gaming focused blog.
Registered domain: abbysblog.net
New site will be known as: Abby’s Gaming Blog
I anticipate some interruptions and broken links as I slowly move things away from atelierarcade.net to abbysblog.net - however, the original domain will stay intact until its registration period finishes at the end of the year.
