Hello and welcome! There were some new changes made to the site today. If you take a look up, you’ll notice that the menu has gotten a bit bigger. That’s because there are two new sections: Downloads and Support. (If you don’t see them, then that’s most likely because your browser hasn’t updated yet. Hit refresh or reload, or just restart the browser altogether.)
I spent much of my time reorganizing the site today and yesterday. It has been a slow frustrating process, but I think it’s going to work out for the best for the archive. Hirac Delest is growing more and more, so it’s only natural to keep up with the changes and expand further so that everything doesn’t get completely lost in the shuffle, which is why I felt we needed to add a new Downloads section, rather than keeping it squeezed in the Database.
The new Downloads section will have all of the original things (music, videos, screensavers, etc), except now they’re better organized in their subpages, rather than being shoved all into one page. Also, while moving the pages, I did add a few new things, such as new Music from the TV show. Four new songs to be exact.
These are the tunes and songs that you’d hear in the backgrounds of the episodes. It took me a while to find them for this site, so please do check it out (My favourite is probably “For You” and the Staredown tune from “Not My Problem”). The audio section got a new Brooke (Rachel) & Nadia (Cassie) interview, as well as some new sound clips from the tv show. Be sure to have a listen to them too.
Also, every music, audio, and video page will have streaming controls now, meaning that you can watch and listen to the file right then and there. Don’t worry though, you can still download them as usual by just following this icon:
Lastly, the new Support section is something I had to separate for itself as well, because it’s apparent how important that is to everyone who comes here. A lot of people are contributing a ton of things to this site all the time, so this is a better way to keep track of things specifically for that.
The Story part of the website merged with a few things from the previous About section, because it just made sense to put it there. I’m planning on adding other things like profiles for K.A. Applegate and David B. Mattingly on that part of the site soon. I’m surprised I didn’t do it sooner.
Anyways, that about covers it for now. The Header and Menu up there got a few design changes too, while I moved things around. Take a look around. Try out all the streaming features with the music and videos. Hopefully they’ll make things look better and give a much more enjoyable experience to you all now. Any feedback on this would be much appreciated.
Until next time!
