Day 5 (of 21) of Website Migration: A Journal

Okay... feeling much better about this whole move now that I am back on track. This morning, I managed to finish the links that were messed up, and also completed the rest of yesterday's to-do list (which involved adding all but the last few pages that were missing, as well as finalizing the website hierarchy and set-up needed for the new menu to work.)

Which means I feel comfortable enough with where I am to actually stream again this afternoon as scheduled. After stream, I will continue working on today's to-do list (I started on it last night as a break from link fixing...), and, obviously, finish up this post with what was done.

I wish I could give you guys some sneak peek teaser images, but the graphics - as I said earlier - won't be ready for sneak peeks until next week. However, what I CAN say is some of what I've been working on... I have plans to add a whole section about me, a way for other generous folks to help support this website in the future, a better way to contact me with questions, a website news area, as well as re-organized everything, a page about my Assassin's Creed Series Playthrough, and just today started adding a whole section devoted to my shell challenges - both past and present. I've also done quite a bit of re-organizing my stories and challenges, hopefully making it easier to find what you're looking for. The tools and links area is fully ready for expansion - although that won't be happening until after this re-launch - as well as the updating of the rest of the challenges and pages that need updating for the newer packs. There is also a new challenge (an updated, adapted challenge that I am adopting from its' original author) that will be coming to my website in the weeks after this full re-launch, it's already about half done.. and Misery2Mansions will be getting it's full rules launched, as well. And, finally, something else that's on my to-do list in the next couple of weeks is adding something this current website has never allowed me to do: forums for people to chat about my challenges and ask me questions. So, yeah, lots of exciting stuff coming. (And that's just an overview of the highlights!!)


Part 2: So it's been a productive evening. I got so much done. I even finally got around to making the graphic for my October Challenge:

Beyond that, I finished setting up the Shell challenge pages on the new site (for those who are interested in seeing what shell challenges I've come up with in the past)... and got them all linked in to the gallery with their photos and infographics. It looks pretty good so far!

Also started work on the about me/home section.. there's a long way to go on it, but it's at least a start. Tomorrow I begin work on the real "meat" of the moving chores... fixing links, featured images, and categories on the nearly 1000 posts. Goal: getting approx. 200 of them done tomorrow. (Yikes!)

I am a 45 year old American wife, mother, and gamer. I’ve lived in the Midwest most of my life, and enjoy it for the changing seasons. My favorite movie is Labyrinth, my favorite game is Sims 4, and I have tattoos related to both. My favorite colors are purple, red, and green. When I’m not playing games (which is rare) I also enjoy reading and crafting. I’m also an animal lover, and have had many types of pets over the years. Currently, I have a dog named Cassie who is a Jack Russel / Beagle mix and three young fancy rats (all of whom are rescues). I run this Sims 4 Blog where I post screenshots and stories about the different challenges I play. Also here are the Sims 4 challenges I've written, and a place for me to store all the Sims 4 knowledge I've gotten over the years. I am also a Sims 4/variety streamer on Twitch for my mental health, fun, and to meet new people. I have also recently been accepted to the EA Creator Network, which is a dream come true! I look forward to meeting you!
