New site, who dis? PPL Patch Notes?!
Hello friends! So, you may have noticed the website looks quite different than what you’re used to. (Now with a dedicated desktop layout and a more mobile-friendly layout that’s hopefully easier to navigate the website compared to the last one!)
The site has been pretty outdated and needed a facelift for some time, and now it’s finally got a shiny new coat of paint!
You’ll notice there’s new pages for each individual PPL (on the sidebar on desktop view, or in the menu on mobile) which will show information of that PPL specifically (as opposed to the home page which shows all posts), and some other new pages like the Next Event page that will conveniently list all the information about an upcoming PPL!
The About page has also been updated with current active Administration, Moderators, and Art team, giving an extra highlight to those members of PPL who have went above and beyond to help prep, run, organize and give their talents to the PPL. Those (to my knowledge) who are no longer active are credited as a Legacy Contributor in the new Archives tab, which leads me to…
While a large majority of things have been moved around, reworded, and added, extra care was taken to make sure no content has been lost or removed. All of the PPL glory, from the start to now, has been preserved in the new Archives tab, which now hosts the Categories strip you might have remembered from the previous site layout’s sidebar. All 850+ posts have now been cleaned up and correctly categorized, with just a few new categories added for further organization and ease of trying to find what amazing piece of PPL History you would like to see.
One other page that’s been added is the new Get Involved page. Here, new prospective Gym Leaders can see what being a Gym Leader entails, including going over the application process and responsibilities both leading up to, and during PAX.
Our social links are now hopefully easier to see from the start, now on the right side in the form of icons (and also listed on our Contact page). Oh yeah, and if you scroll too far, there’s now a super handy Jump to Top of Page button that’ll.. take a guess… bring you right back to the top of the page! And for those of you who prefer not to see so much white on a page, there is now a Dark Mode switch on the bottom left.
There are a couple things planned to be added still and small changes to be made, but for now, this is the new PPL site! It may not be as super fancy or cool as some other sites (have mercy on me pls), but welcome (again!) to the home of all things PPL 💙
