Cayzle’s Wemic Site

Here's what's new on my site.

Note that my screeds (aka my blog) and strips (aka my Web comic) are updated frequently. Okay, frequently-ish. Anyway, I do not update this page every time I post a new screed or strip. For a list of all those, including date posted, take a look at the site home page.

3 June 2024: Removed the Internet Defense League Badge from my home page. Evidently the organization is defunct, alas.

31 May 2024: Added a contact link to my user page on AI art site NightCafe.

14 Apr 2024: A very long time ago, when wemic art was rare on the Interwebs, I wanted a custom drawing of a wemic. Inspired by (tracing over) another artist's work, I sketched my own. I am no artist, so it was pretty bad. Today I got AI to redraw my art, and it is SO much better. Take a peek: here is the old and the new. I replaced the old with the new here.

15 Jun 2022: I continue to work on my fork of D&D3E, called Labyrinths & Liontaurs Linked to it from the top of my home page a couple weeks back.

12 Sep 2021: Added a word cloud to the About page.

8 Sep 2020: Revised and updated my links page. Added a roll of gaming links to the home page.

2 Aug 2020: Have I mentioned that I have easter eggs? I just added a link to mine: Labyrinths & Liontaurs.

18 July 2020: Mentioned my art links page on Twitter, so I figured I'd better update it. Well, at least update the bad links. Have not added any art in, what, 6+ years? Some day I'll add a LOT more art, and curate it as well. Someday. BTW, if you want to see good art, go look at my retweets on Twitter.

23 June 2020: For the longest time, my site used the generic favicon, and though I had it in the back of my head to fix that, I never had the time / never cared enough. But then Yahoo replaced the generic favicon with its own Y! favicon, the jerks! And I can't even make a universal replacement! U have to add a snippet of code to each and every page! UGH! Well, I've started that slow process, using my own pink and paw favicon.

15 June 2018: Added secure socket layer protection to the site. Woo Hoo, no more nasty warnings from Chrome that my site is not secure!

25 May 2018: Found out that Oath is discontinuing support for guestbooks. Alas! So I took down the new guestbook entry submission form and links. I suppose that's ok -- no one had signed it since 2016. I kept the old archived posts, though, here.

3 May 2018: Published my second splat book, on 3E bards, and updated my Splat Books page.

April 2018: Unhappy with the ugly look of my home page, I revamped the thing with a header graphic for every screed since 2014 and standardized tagline text length. Looks a lot better now.

2 January 2017: Created a home page for Robot Heaven. Also uploaded a copy of the Pathfinder SRD, a complete set of rules, accessible via one of my easter egg links.

1 January 2017: Completely revamped the site home page for mobile responsivity. Saved the old home page for posterity. I have to say that the new design is NOT an improvement on a desktop. Call it a 25% decrease in utility and beauty. But it is a 100% improvement from a smart phone. SO on the whole, a plus?

11 November 2016: Revised my Links page. Saved the Old Links for posterity.

2 August 2016: Added a prominent link on my home page to my Splat Book Downloads page. Renamed "Click Screeds" to "Other Screeds."

16 Nov. 2009: Alas, with the demise of GeoCities, my original host for this site, many of my old links have stopped working. It's all reparable, but as I repair things, please forgive the mess and broken links.

You haven't stopped by in a few weeks because of my irregular posting? La La La La La! I can't hear you! I'm too busy crafting my next screed!
