+title: Website update - October 2025
+date: 2025-10-24
+updates:
+- Major update
+---
+
+Hi! I am still not dead.
+
+It’s taken me a while to get this done, but I have made some substantial updates to this website that make the experience better both for me and anyone reading this!
+
+In the spirit of Halloween, enjoy this unnecessarily long and comprehensive list of updates!
+
+## Major news
+
+**Search is here thanks to the [Pagefind](https://pagefind.app) static search library. I am currently using its default UI, but this may change in the future.**
+
+**Blog and Reviews have been merged into a new [Posts](/posts) page! I have set up redirects with Cloudflare so indexed links on search engines aren't affected.**
+
+## Other changes
+
+- Reviews now have their own **Review** category.
+- Added [Changelog](/changelog) + a bunch of old Devlogs and changes

+- Fixed incorrect heading size on this post
+- Mobile menu no longer prevents scrolling while open
+- Latest content now only shows the two latest posts
+- Mobile menu no longer extends to the bottom of the viewport
+- Moved and renamed template files to ensure compatibility with future Hugo versions
+- More site elements are now using reusable classes, like `prose` for text-centric content or `width-content`, `width-page` and `full-width` for an element's max width
+- Switched to logical CSS properties for better compatibility with right-to-left and other layouts
+- Now using regular font files instead of Google Fonts
+- Changed homepage hero text
+- Improved contrast and colours
+- Link underlines in blog post abd review pages are now thinner and lower down
+- Made the header blurry and translucent (opening the mobile menu makes it opaque)

+- Changed body background colour
+- Changed favicon and fixed favicon links in `<head>`

+
+## Removals
+
+- Removed "My iPod Touch (it's older than me)"
+- Removed about section at the bottom of the homepage

+
+## What’s next?
+
+I am going to be cleaning up and editing pretty much all existing content over the next few months. Reviews will be the priority.
+
+As a start, I’ve temporarily hidden and may possibly delete “My iPod Touch (it’s older than me)”. I never liked that post and I think it’s useless.
+
+I’ll be working on new reviews and posts after Christmas, but in the meantime, I hope to work on a fullscreen image viewer for posts and reviews, improve accessibility and possibly overhaul the mobile menu.
+
+## Other news
+
+I have officially moved this site’s source code to GitLab.com.
