Black Lives Matter

I hope this isn't the first you're hearing about it, but this month is Black History Month! To celebrate, we're going to be posting about points in time where Black history coincided with science breakthroughs, conservation developments, and scientific advancements.

Location, location, location!

It's been awhile since I've changed anything about the project, but even so, up until now I've only made minor tweaks to the graphics. But starting today (or I guess yesterday), not only will there be a slightly different layout for the post graphics, I'm introducing something called Series.

With the new layout, there is of course the Pixel Planet Today logo, the post number, and the year at the bottom, but there is also an icon at the bottom left to reflect what series or collection the post belongs to. For the time being, there will only be a couple, but if all goes well, I might create some more. The first, 'Vote 2020' (which you've hopefully already seen), will be kept for posts that follow the environmental issues of the U.S. Election. The second one, 'Quick Facts', are going to be a new format of posts altogether. Instead of a full-blown article, these shorter captioned posts will focus on just one core fact that you likely didn't know. This isn’t just for those that want shorter captions on posts ("I can't read a whole essay everyday, Sammy"), but this will also free up some time for me to continue working on collaborations and other projects in the Pixel Planet realm. I've got a whole bunch of stuff I'm so excited to make for you guys, so this time will help astronomically.
