## Changes
- **Highlights:**
1. **This website now has an official logo! I've also updated the favicon and embed image to match.**
2. **Added new dialog for site updates and announcements. You can temporarily dismiss this for your current session, or disable it until the next update. Check out [Your privacy](/website-info/#your-privacy) to see how this works.**
3. **The Categories page now shows the number of categories & category pages now display the total number of pages within that category**
4. **X/Twitter has been removed from the share section**

- Removed single layout for old list in [What I use](/what-i-use)

- Card title links are now just anchor tags
- Converted all shortcodes to use `{{</* */>}}` instead of `{{%/* */%}}`
