New Year Resolution 2024

Weeeeell, it's been a bit of a time ... But here we are, 2024 and the New Year challenge is upon us (and i am finishing it in the last few hours, yes)... Regardless, here is something I've looked at, something I've learnt, and something I'm hoping to accomplish.

Learning from others

Articles I have looked at (and commented on)

Takeaways

• How can I visually break up the page, so that it still looks appealing, but not a hindrance to read? E.g. dropcaps can be used in a few places.
• Geography can make a difference / start stories (e.g. Evalaw's shifting Islands prove drawn maps useless to the next person; Isaac's isolation of the Sina people).
• Remember tooltips.
• Maps can be for smaller places than an entire continent. Also, map markers can show short descriptions.
• The look of an article can really draw a reader in to the atmosphere of the article - I'd like to work out what theme/CSS will work well with Realm-R articles.
• Trade routes.
• Music and moving pieces can be fun.

Bonus

This was amazing to be a part of ~
