The Impossible Dream: Revamp in Progress

The Impossible Dream
Revamp in Progress
This revamp has been long overdue!! It was good before, but I definitely had some tweaks I wanted to make to it.

Here's what's currently visible:

- New layout, including tweaked colors, Google Fonts, and more CSS tricks

Planned additions:

"Olaf 101"
* who and what he is
* what draws me to him
* common criticisms of his character

"Heroism"
* Olaf's character functions
* goals and values
* Olaf as a Quixotic hero
* why he is considered comic relief

"Faith"
* Olaf as a Biblical example
* The Pilgrim's Progress comparison
* innocence and wisdom
* character songs

Wooooo now that the layout's up, I'm really getting hype for this remake! Stay tuned!

The new layout looks awesome! I love the light blue background a lot, and the image is adorable~ I'm excited to see this revamp, especially having seen Frozen now! :eyes: Outline looks great, and I can't wait! Good luck!

WOOOOO so I've gotten a lot of the content revised and back up--there are still a couple of pages left to do, and some formatting to fix, but at least about 90% of the site is up now. Check it out!

I'm still writing the last two articles (inspiration and energy have been super low today, blehhh), but I've made some formatting changes--resizing the images a bit, tweaking font selection and styling choices, and even reorganizing how some of the content displays.

Please let me know if anything is hard to read in terms of design or info organization. (I'm especially concerned about the way I've formatted my h2s, with the bold white text outlined in blue--should I use a darker blue outline, or is it okay the way it is?) Also, if any content doesn't make sense, let me know; I've been staring at all this writing for months and so my view of it may be skewed xD

Finished the Innocence and Wisdom article! I'm still afraid it feels a bit threadbare on content, but I think I got my main points across...LOL

Edit: Managed to finish the Pilgrim's Progress article as well!

I think the revamp is pretty much done now, but I'm open to suggestions on content, organization, design, etc. I want to make this site the very best it can be! since it's been kind of an embarrassment for the last 2 years ^_^;
