Templum Bellonae

Finally, it looks like all the major changes to the site are finished, and everything’s up and running again as well as it ever did. As ever, if you find a problem, leave a comment on this entry (or any entry) or email me at bellona_3@yahoo.ca.

There are now four different ‘themes’ to choose from, using the dropdown menu in the sidebar. Choosing a new theme changes the look of the site but not the content. The default theme is Ocadia, because I like it the best. The old theme is Green Notebook, which is the only one that I had anything to do with designing (and it shows ;-)). Ocadia, Thirteen and Daisy Rae Gemini were all downloaded from Alex King’s WordPress theme design competition. If you have a WordPress blog of your own and haven’t checked out the site yet, you should - there are a lot of amazingly beautiful themes there. The three I chose were the ones I liked best and which best suited the way my site is organized.

Fandoms are no longer organized in groups (with a few exceptions); all the fandoms which have two or more stories recommended are listed in the sidebar; stories which are unique recommendations in their fandom are listed under ‘miscellaneous’. A few overlapping fandoms are listed together under ‘classics’: fanfic based on greek and roman myth, on the works of Homer and Mary Renault, and on the movies Troy and Alexander. As usual, fanfic from all The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and Voyager are all listed together under ’star trek’.

There are very few pairings listed in the sidebar, for various reasons. Most of the pairings on this site aren’t there, so don’t be discouraged just because your favourite pairing isn’t on the list.

The other categories are pretty much unchanged.

I hope you enjoy the new look of the site. Happy reading!
