July 2024 Site Update and Patron Thank You Post
Hi everybody!
It's July so it's time to thank our amazing June Patreon supporters and to give a site update!
First, we are updating the site layout to be more user friendly. For web, the layout should be a grid system now showing the images tiled instead of the images on top of each other with a sentence of text next to it. The reason is because the preview text usually showed very little (for submissions it would just say "X submitted" which isn't a useful summary) and left a lot of empty space. We're also adding a tag cloud to popular categories (handpicked by me) so people can find material easier. Posts will also have a "featured" tag category, this doesn't change anything about how tags work, the featured tag is just like a focus tag that will link to the tag I think best describes the post so people can find other posts like it. I hope the changes make the site easier to use for people. If you have any suggestions or complaints about the site please feel free to let me know at eschergirls@gmail.com.
And, as usual I'm fixing up the archives, replacing broken images, sourcing images from the early days of the blog, finding better resolutions of images, and fixing up the HTML so posts aren't broken or have weird titles. Given that the blog has over 8000 posts, this is obviously a long-term on-going project but I try to do a little at a time. This month, I've restored 2 Code Geass Kallen posts (as well as consolidated the Code Geass tag so Kallen and C.C. are in the same tag), one of which is Kallen as a pretzel dancer, and the other is a redline of her as a pretzel dancer, people will probably get a kick out of those so I recommend you check them out!
I've also fixed up a bunch of very old Artemis and Wonder Woman posts:
- Wonder Woman: The Contest TPB cover featuring Wonder Woman's leg turning into a tree
- This panel from Wonder Woman vol. 2 #100 featuring Diana's boobflounder (both breasts drawn on one side of her chest) and another woman also being a boobflounder next to her
- A panel from Wonder Woman vol. 2 #99 showing Artemis in a weird pose that originally was a transparent cutout that's been spread around online and it took a while to source where it came from (thanks to Fedi for helping me!)
- The cover of Wonder Woman vol. 2 #93 showing both Artemis and Diana's legs turning into trees
- The panel from Wonder Woman vol. 2 #100 showing the death of Artemis and her barbie anatomy (this one is very strange, I recommend everybody check it out if you haven't seen it before)
I'm still working through the Tumblr backlog, so if I haven't gotten to your submission, I greatly apologize.
And again, reminder, for those who want to follow us without using Tumblr, we have an RSS feed. (For newbies, RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and is basically a feed you can read using an RSS reader. Simply copy and paste https://eschergirls.com/rss.xml into an RSS reader and it will keep you up to date on Escher Girls!)
And now I want to thank all the people who supported us this month on Patreon. Your support is really appreciated and helps me keep the site independently run and make site upgrades and improvements. Your support helps to pay for domain costs, hosting, and just general site maintenance. :)
So here is a huge sincere thank you to all of the June Patreon supporters!
