I feel like this is a solid arrangement for trying something new. It's a wee bit busy with large titles, but that's the same theme I'm working with, so I say don't sweat it. I'm pleased to be able to find the manuscripts easily, and thrilled to find the main charas so well shown. The only way I see this getting any better (in this layout) is by getting "uniform headers" so the eye is drawn to the pretty names and titles. (I offer my own main chara headers as a humble example, but please remember I'm a beginner too!) Great work and keep it up!!! :D /toasts you with tea/
Hmmm, I can figure something out with the titles. I know how to make custom titles so Maybe I can make it match the sidebar stuff. Thank you Lilac!
It looks well organized enough! I'd say making use of columns, tables, book style categories could help. It's easy for article blocks to take up too much space without implementing columns or tables. Personally I make use of variables as shortcuts to quickly format these things. Like turning

Oof didn't know bbcode and all works in comments.
Singular table/container:
[table][tr][td][center] & [/center][/td][/tr][/table]
condensed into
[ v a r : b l o c k - o p e n - l e e s t e p p ]' & [ v a r : b l o c k - c l o s e - l e e s t e p p ]
Center column:
[row][col3][/col3][col3] & [/col3][col3][/col3][/row]
condensed into
[ v a r : c o l - c - o p e n - l e e s t e p p ] & [v a r : c o l - c - c l o s e - l e e s t e p p ]
Also, making use of tags a tagged bbcodes is helpful too, especially if you intend to add more characters later. If using a
[tagged:name of tag|block|none], anything with that tag will automatically be added to a list of blocks!
Absolutely mind blown, I didn't know the tag system worked like that! I'm going to have to experiment with that!
Yeah I use it a lot for my species and characters as I add more
looks good nice touch adding manuscripts in the sidebar. If you want you could try making columns out of your articleblocks to make it more compact maybe sort rows by factions and the like. like these half-dozen or so from the skullbrood clan etc. do you know the sticky sidebar css code?
Thats not a bad idea with the columns, I tried doing factions along the side bar, but I think making it more a featured thing might work better. I don't know anything about CCS, don't have the faintest idea where to start with it either.
@media only screen and (min-width:992px .user-css .article-content .row .col-md-8 + .col-md-4 { position: -webkit-sticky !important; position: sticky !important; top: 10px; max-height: 100vh; overflow-y: auto; border: 1px solid gold; background: #d7e3f4; box-shadow: 2px 2px 6px rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.5) ; z-index: 1050; } This is a basic CSS that goes into the design section of an articles css. You can change the colors as you wish if you have the hex codes or just the color name. Credit to Wordigirl for this!
hrm ok so apparently it did not want to preserve the indentions of the code.....its not supposed to be smooshed together each line has a specific position. @media only screen and (min-width:992px .user-css .article-content .row .col-md-8 + .col-md-4 { position: -webkit-sticky !important; position: sticky !important; top: 10px; max-height: 100vh; overflow-y: auto; border: 1px solid gold; background: #d7e3f4; box-shadow: 2px 2px 6px rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.5) ; z-index: 1050; }
I'll have to experiment with this, thank you!
