This section includes information on any kind of updates to this website, both past and future. I will log all my progress developing this website on this page. If there is something new in the works or if I thought of a good idea to try out, I will list it here. Also, if anyone else would like to create a website similar to this one, this page should serve as a guidline for what and how I developed certain sections of the site.
Website Additions:
Added a Google Analytics plugin
Configured FeedBurner for the site, includes both email subscription and FeedCount display.
Added SBM (SideBar-Modules plugin) to organize and manage various sections of this website. This mainly handles the side bar of each page but also manages top and bottom modules for each page.
