SITE UPDATE-14

CLICK HERE to go back to the past changes "2013 MONTHS" menu.
V.14-This was a big update. Not huge, but a good bundle of little changed here and there. Here's what I did:
  • Clocks EVERYWHERE!!!
  • Speaking of the Update and Changes sites.
    • I changed their widths. I made them more compact because on my tiny computer, I had a bottom scroll bar. That means the site is to wide. I try to make everything fit on my tiny laptops screen because it's the default size that most sites go for. Facebook, Weather.com, and other site fit perfectly with no auto adjusting. So, that's what I try to go for. I don't like bottom scroll bars.
      • I did have a problem with the blog. It's to wide by a bit and won't seem to get under it, not matter how small I make it.
        • My main site auto adjusts except for the menu.
  • There's a new downtime tracker on the back up site.
    • As in, whenever the main site goes down, this little counter will pop up and keep track of how long it's been down.
  • Speaking of trackers.
    • I added a "Time since last update" tracker under the new clock on the Site Changes...Site.
  • Fixed the share buttons.
    • On main site, I have the floating share buttons. There was a share counter below it. Just like the counter below every post. Well, I got rid of it. It just looked weird. And it was interfering with the post shares.
    • Speaking of them, I fixed some problems with them. They were having a bit of issues. I had to take out the extra share button and the pin it button.
      • The counter in the floating shares whereas taken off all my sites that have one. But the buttons taken in the post shares where only on the main site. The others are still working.
  • No more snow. :-(
    • Sad to say. But winter is over. And even though it's still kind-of snowing where I am, I'm still turning off the snow code. I try to think of things to replace it. ;-)
  • The bottom bar was adjusted.
    • I messed with the main site bottom bar a bit and it covers the code space at the bottom of my site every well.
  • Updated the site layout page.
    • I added info about the bottom bar.
  • I changed the season descriptions on The Father's video page.
    • I updated them to not just say "This season is over." I describe more.
  • New help videos.
    • The one on the help page is a video that basically reads all the info to you. And better explains it. It's for those who don't want to read.
    • I also added one on the Menu Help and the Site Layout help. 
      • Those just talk about those subject  The one on the help page covers everything.
  • Changed some more things it the main site footer but nothing much.
  • Revamped the marquees.
    • The marquees are the scrolling news things.
      • They are the Important! News at the top and the Main News...News on the side.
    • I made the one on the top HTML instead of Java.
      • There are some good and bad things.
        • The bad:
          1. It's jumpy and flickering. It doesn't look as cool and smooth.
        • And that's all...
        • The good:
          1. It's super simple. 
          2. It not as touchy as the old one. As in I can play with it and not have breaking issues. 
          3. And that means I was able to add the cool animated window loader for the CLICK HERE link for the Update video. 
          4. Loads quickly. 
          5. It still has the hover stop. 
          6. It auto adjusts with the screen width. 
          7. And lastly as a fun bonus, I was able to add cool controls to it. Like speeding it up and slowing it down.
        • Much more good than bad. :-) I'll get over it.
    • Then, I noticed that now the marquees are basically the same code style.
      • So, with a little tweaking, I was able to add the cool controls to the side one too!!
      • I also centered everything in the side one.
      • That it for that one, not to much.
  • Cleaned up the test site.
    • Got rid of the extra codes that I integrated to make room for some new codes. When I add something from the test site to the main site, I take it off of the test site. Or sometimes leave it there just in case I need some extra testing. Like the menu.
  • Then, there's usually little tweaks here and there.
I thinks that's all. There was a lot.
