+- Major update

+
+## Major news
+
+**The category and share sections have been merged in to their own area below page content with brand new "Copy Link" and Email options.** The category section now says "Category" instead of "Categories" if only one has been specified.
+
+**The mobile menu has nice new animations and a border on the bottom.** It now closes if your browser window goes beyond 640px in width while it's open. You can now also close it by pressing the Escape key.
+
+**The header is now translucent and blurry once again.** It turns opaque while the mobile menu is open.
+
+**You can now filter by Category on the Search page.**
+
+**Many templates and partials have been simplified and consolidated wherever possible.**
+
+**All post and review covers are now in the `.webp` file format.**
+
+**The list of gadgets from About have been moved to [What I use](/what-i-use).**
+
+**Changelog entries are now in [Major Update](/categories/major-update) and [Minor Update](/categories/minor-update) categories**
+
+**Footer links are now better organised and text has been made smaller and more unobtrusive.** Footer menus now highlight the page you are currently on, just like the main navigation menu.
+
+**I have implemented view transitions with the new [View Transitions API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/View_Transition_API)**. It will not yet work on Firefox as it currently [does not support view transitions on multi-page applications](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1860854).
+
+**All animations including the mobile menu, links, the header and view transitions now respect the user's "Reduce motion" setting.**
+
+**A link to the parent of any content you're reading is now above the page title.** This excludes pages whose parent is `/` aka [Home](/).
+
+### Important license information
+
+I am now excluding images from the permissions granted by the license.
+
+**Please do not share or redistribute any of my images elsewhere.**
+
+As of the time I am writing this changelog, all images on this website are my own.
+
+In the future, I will be adding a "Credits" section to the bottom of any page that is using another individual or company's work/intellectual property. It will likely be above the new combined Category and Share section.
+
+I may also create a dedicated page outlining what you can do with my content, both based on the [CC BY-NC-SA 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/) deed and my own wishes regarding images.

+
+## What's next
+
+I am planning on writing a blog post about my progress with HTML and CSS. It *should* be out before Christmas day.
+
+Light mode *will* be added back soon. It's not that much of a concern right now aside from potential accessibility issues.
+
+Speaking of accessibility, this is something the website doesn't particularly excel at right now. I need to work on a [focus trap](https://css-tricks.com/a-primer-on-focus-trapping/) for the mobile menu, along with writing alt text for every image on every page.
+
+I hope to work on my own UI implementation for Pagefind soon. The default one, while functional, doesn't completely fit in with the rest of the website.
+
+I was experimenting and had a proof-of-concept layout for content with a table of contents available on the right side of your screen on desktop, inspired by [Josh W. Comeau](https://www.joshwcomeau.com/)'s website. I may implement this in the future.
+
+I am making a commitment to provide detailed changelogs for every major update to this website going forward.
+
+That's all for now.
