This is the page where Mark logs down all the website updates, as if it’s some kind of history book!
⚠️ JUST ONE THING: I made this page on May 2nd, and I don’t remember exactly when and what exactly happened before this date. For precision purposes, I’ll be logging things properly only from this date and after.

I spent quite a long time simping for an accordion and working on Artfight stuff and other projects and spending time with a very dear person, so I kinda didn’t make updates all this time 😬. I did something now though!
- Added the Kitchen page, for posting my weird ass recipes!
- Changed the homepage to have a whole query section for recipes called “Latest Meals”!
- Posted a bunch of old artworks in the Art Gallery!
- Fixed Slideshow lightboxes again because a plugin update made them eat shit so I had to make one from scratch 🤷♂️ and slept at 1am on a workday because of this

- Made images load faster on the homepage and the art gallery
- Added a “Mark’s Pick” stamp image thing

The website is almost ready for launch. I have been running on sandwiches and biscuits all weekend. I fought carousels on the front page and saw layout errors that I didn’t think would be humanly even possible.
The beast has been defeated. This was the update I DREADED THE MOST to do. It was terrifying, certainly, holy shit. But WE HAVE A FUCKING EPIC HOMEPAGE NOW. A few smaller fixes and details left to add, and it will be ready.
Here is my suffering in order:
- I fixed questionable layout shit that was making everything move slightly right on mobile
- I added details on the header and footer (footer detail not visible on mobile), where it looks like it has a sort of fake golden metal strip. Looks epic.
- Designed a whole new homepage template that had header separator blocks that look like old 70s cafeteria signs
- Did various small fixes for the “Latest” kind of queries on the homepage
- Added buttons on the cafeteria headers that lead to the actual post pages like Yapping Center
- Made the first carousels the website has seen EVER
- I suffered with carousels for at least 8 hours in a row with only two breaks to eat and pee
- Daydreamed about owning a MiniMoog synth or a haunted accordion from Vendora (this is like a siren song I hear only when I am tired or upset or unwell in some way)
- I made a central “Latest Art Thing” area on the homepage that displays the artwork in its original shape (not cropped!) in the middle
- I made the article titles on the carousels readable
- Some other minor detailing stuff
I will have to stop here for now, I worked for 12 hours in a row today (again, same as yesterday) and I am not even paid for this. It’s pure obsession… uh- passion. I’ll go take an unglamorous shower at 12am despite having to wake up at 7am tomorrow, I need it. Bye for now.

I’m preparing Fast And Curious for its official launch. Recently, I made some posts, fixed things and made functionality updates. Examples include:
- We have a newsletter now! Can you believe this??!? I added the form in various areas on the website!
- Mark’s Pick has been added to the homepage. It’s going to show an article that I am feeling is important and worth reading at the time.
- Fixed typos in the Contact Me page that prevented people from sending emails to me properly – the correct email is pleaseemailmeimlonely@fastandcurious.gr and I am showing it there now.
- The pages Music Studio (for music related articles and posts) and Vintage Workshop (for old shit) have been added!
- Now the category buttons on the homepage are leading to their representative pages! (If you click the Yapping button under Fresh From The Oven, for example, it will teleport you to the Yapping Center instead of some stupid automatic WordPress index page).
- Added a Greece flag patch on the header for no reason but it looking cool
