Re: Multiple Page vs Single Page Site Sections

I would say I tend to go for multiple pages "Site" sections.
I really liked the idea of having a work cited list (kind of like the footnotes at the bottom of a wikipedia article) from the last shrine I made back in 2008 before I left that shrining world for a while. However, for some strange reason, I never really liked actual footnotes but to separate the citations from the actual content itself, so I go for the multiple pages just to have that work cited list on its own page along with credits and acknowledgements. When I got back into shrining last year, I still chose to keep the work cited thing, at least I would like to keep it for all of my Final Fantasy shrines anyway. Haha.
The section I used to separate but now combined would be the "Links" section. I used to have a section for all the buttons and stuff for others to link back to my sites, and a separate section for links to other sites related to my shrines, but now I just combined those two sections together because there aren't as many shrines out there anymore for certain topics (that makes me sad). I also think it's because frames layouts and using really small fonts were popular back in the days (since screen resolutions for monitors used to be way smaller, like 800x600 and 1024x768 were the norm), so the space you get for all your contents was quite tiny. Nowadays, I think many people choose to use div layouts that use most of the screen, and with that you get more blank spaces for your written content (plus you can use bigger front sizes), so it's natural to make longer sections with more written content.
