4chan /gtag/ cover art

Been a while since the last entry here, huh? Right now 4chan is down because of a hack, I got another set of 11 covers to upload here soon enough. DrawAnon has blessed us with another Chibi drawing, you can find it on the OTHERS page. Depending how long the site stays down I'll hit an archive site and try to make one last cover from the current thread.

Added a fun little thing to the cartoon avatars on each page, give them a click. Fixed some small issues around the site. The thumbnails on the logos page are now properly cropped. Inverted the directions of the arrows in the gallery navigation.

Finally filled in the title and descriptions for all the covers. With those pieces of information ready to go the RSS Feed is now fully populated. Changed the font, I never liked that the other font was all UPPERCASE. As I was making Cover 35 it kinda turned into a joke of it being a "premium edition" cover and as a result there are a few variations of it. To not clutter the gallery with repeats I shoved them into the OTHER page. You can also grab the "premium" logo in the aptly named LOGO page.

Another Small update, fixed a problem with the gallery and added an RSS Feed. Right now it only has one item, over time I'll add them all.

Tiny update, I added keyboard shortcuts to the gallery. Left & Right arrows to navigate and Escape to close.

Added a lightbox gallery to the site, I mostly lifted from the w3schools page, I'm not super happy with it but it works. There's finally a place for me to add the descriptions and titles of the covers, but I think it's kinda too ugly where it sits, description is behind the alt text for the pictures. seems like a bad place to put that info... The titles are in a paragraph in the middle of 50 million links, feels like a disaster waiting to happen. So right now they're empty. I might just need to invert the tags... It would make more sense, but I'd rather find a better solution before I start typing stuff. Oh I also added a ★ NEW ★ badge to the newest covers.

Tried to make the site work better on phones and other small screens. Doubled the size of the cover thumbnails so they look a bit crisper.

I finally looked up some tutorials and learned how to layout a site, previously I was just blindly changing values and hoping things would fall in place. Now there's an actual grid holding things together! Very simplistic but its actually doing its job in a way that I can understand.

I wasn't happy with the green color scheme, I wanted to add a secondary color but when I added yellow it started looking Irish... When I added red it started to look Italian, so I just gave up on green entirely and went with a yellow color scheme. I think it looks much better now, even if it does ignore the big green general from the covers.

Smaller Still: Made the character drawings a bit smaller.

Small update, made text smaller and went around fixing errors. Changed orientation of the covers, makes more more sense to have newest ones on top. Made the HowTo look a bit nicer and added dates to these "blog posts" and the cover page. Not sure if I like this color scheme.

Got the custom font working, but not happy with how it looks. Unless it's blown up to gigantic sizes it is very hard to read. Which I guess makes sense since it was made to be used on the WASTED screen and what not...

It was super easy to add a simple animation for hovering over the covers, I think it looks great! Made a "how to" page in case anyone wants to make their own. "Blog" doesn't have anything right now except these blurbs. Eventually I want to make a small entry on each cover. "Other stuff" page added where I can dump random stuff that might be of interest. Most obviously, I added the cartoon drawings an Anon made a while back. Go check them out!

No real changes to the site, but now the code is more readable. It also doesn't rely on manual line breaks to make the pictures fit neatly in a column. This makes adding new pictures way easier. I'm trying to get custom font working but I'm having some trouble.

The day the site was first uploaded. Featured up to cover 26 - The second Halloween cover
