+A New Page Structure
+---
+_26 May 2019_
+
+I keep wanting to start working on the combat, but I keep getting feedback about the site as a whole. I'm happy to receive it, of course, it just means I'll have to work even harder!
+
+I've removed the forms to the right, and moved them into their own pages. This should make it cleaner to signup and login. I've also added a blurb to the main page, and tweaked the styling so it's not simply a wall of text. Hopefully, it looks better - I really can't tell, since I'm too close to the project.
