After about a year of being away, I’ve started working on Kevin’s Guides again! Wish me luck… So far we’ve gotten a new theme, courtesy of Claude Code. I was bored and did some sort of dark Appleish Liquid Glass crap. I don’t know if I like it, but it took a while, so we’ll […]

Hello! Just a couple of updates on advertisements and the comment system. I’ve re-enabled the comment system for all users, and guests. Guests may post with just a name and email.
