There's been so many changes to the site (version 1.1.0) in the last few days! Here's a brief overview of them.

External (Visual) Changes

• Added FontAwesome icons
• Improved title-text descriptions (one for every link)
• Sort posts in post list and search list
• Added social media buttons
• Added random quote generator (see bottom of page!)
• Added search hint
• Revamped sidebar on desktop (much cleaner!)
• Added search bar to sidebar on desktop
• Revamped index.html page (much more informative!)

Internal Changes

• Added post tags
• Added searching by post tags
• Added RSS feed
• Cleaned up CSS
• More robust RWD with .mobile and .desktop CSS classes
• Less data sent to webpages (faster load time)
• Internal dates set to RFC 2822 standard*

(* Because all of the dates were previously only dates, all of the times for posts prior to this one will either be set to 12:00AM or 1:00AM, for sorting reasons. Posts after this one should have correct times set.)

That's basically all I had in mind for a working blog. These are the end of the major updates for version 1 of this blog.

Happy reading!
