Archive April: Progress!
Apr. 23rd, 2024 11:03 pmLast entry I decided that I would do something I'm calling "Archive April", in which I focus on archiving to my personal site during April. I set a goal of at least 10 new fanworks archived, with additional soft goals of creating my Fanart and Fanvid pages and improving the site navigation.
It's taken me a while to make time for any more archiving since March Meta Matters, because I was on a trip a couple of days after my last post and then we had Things Being Done to the house that were quite chaotic and all-encompassing. And I held a belated birthday party 😁 But I still had a chunk of April left, so I was determined to get back on the archiving train and keep my commitment to myself ☺️
I got back into the groove with a quick, easy upload of a short Rurouni Kenshin fic that just needed a page and some formatting to go up. That was all I could manage on Saturday night, but on Sunday I had time to get stuck in. I realised that I'd been avoiding archiving longer fics because I wanted to improve the way I handled the chapters, so, I tinkered with my already-uploaded multichapter Yu Yu Hakusho Peter Pan AU (Hiei Jaganshi, Legendary Bandit) and added some links to previous and next chapters. Rather than create a page for each chapter, I wanted to make it possible for people to read the fic continuously if they wanted to, but also have the ability to navigate to individual chapters. I also looked up how to center a bullet point list so that I could create a little chapter navigation menu at the top.
