December Update 2 - v1.4.0	2025-12-27	Major update

I hope you had a good Christmas/holiday season. This is officially the last update for 2025!

• Content:

  • About has been vastly improved with more information on what I do, along with my Chronic illness
  • "About this website" is now Website info and includes better content and formatting
  • My main devices are now in their own list at the top of What I use with nice icons
  • Improved review summary and added note about RTINGS colour profile on Dell 27 Plus 4K - S2725QC
  • Replaced iPhone 13 my new iPhone 17 in What I use
  • Added "Power" section to What I use and changed the order of categories
  • Removed the "Contact" page and moved its contents to About
  • Corrected a typo and added alt text for all images in What software do I use?
  • Updated the OS on Desktop PC in What I use
  • Corrected links in multiple changelogs to /website-info
  • Corrected grammar in Website Update

• UI and UX:

  • Pagefind search has been removed as it's not really needed for the amount of content here
  • The link to a post/review's parent above the title has been replaced with a primary category. One or multiple categories are no longer listed above the share section.
  • Heading font sizes are now using clamp to shrink on smaller screens
  • The current page is no longer highlighted in the main navigation menu or footer menu
  • Mobile menu navigation links are now right-aligned once again
  • Adjusted spacing between titles and text on review overviews, the category section, the share section, the homepage latest content section and notes.
  • Dates no longer have a comma before the year
  • Increased padding on the bottom of the mobile menu
  • Reduced spacing between pagination buttons
  • Reduced footer padding
  • Updated footer license disclaimer and changed menu link order
  • Page card title is now only an <a>, not one nested inside of an <h3>

• Behind the scenes:

  • I have gone back to a simpler favicon, now with SVG, ICO and corrected apple-touch-icon PNG versions.
  • Added previously missing meta description and author tags
  • Footer text is now configured in the Hugo config
  • Removed useless RSS feed stuff that was accidentally left in
  • Main devices in What I use are using a YAML data file, this may change in the future
  • Added link paramater and page card shortcode to applicable Archetype files
  • Removed redundant version paramater from changelog Markdown files
  • No longer using em for line height in prose

What's next?

I hope to overhaul the UI of this website over 2026, the CSS is quite a mess.
