Site Updates and Maintenance

Hello fellow readers!

I just wanted to apologize for the funky look of the site for the next week or so. I'm trying to make it more functional whilst still keeping the content available!

Thank you for your understanding.

By the way, if you have any input with regards to content or functionality, let me know and I'll try to work it into the design.

P.S. The Read More link leads to the individual updates/changes I've made.

Update 9/29/2016

Added a drop-down monthly archive menu to the sidebar.
Added top menu navigation; organized links to big categories. (Need to play with design and code of this feature, but it's mostly functional—it takes a couple of clicks before the link takes you to the corresponding page.)
Created dedicated page (List of All Posts) to list all posts by title/date under Article Archive in top menu. (Need to play with design of this page still, but it's functional.)
Removed background image.
Changed text and title styles for homogenous look .
Inserted the "Read more" function to shorten the main page.
