Welcome, to my record of the Maniacal Menagerie's history. I've changed this site's design several times since its founding in 2022, and I can only hope I will do so many more times.

Wow, this takes me back! At this point, I hadn't even come up with the name Maniacal Menagerie yet- my site was simply known as "Grey's Webbed Site".

The very first major update since the site's inception, though it's quite minor compared to later revisions. I somehow ended up using the exact same shade of blue in a much later design.

The first truly groundbreaking revision to the site. This was also the first time I started using the name Maniacal Menagerie- granted, the name was only used for a specific section of the site, that being my hexies.

This revision does and probably always will hold a special place in my heart. It took me a very long time and I learned a lot in the process of making it. It's also the first version of my site to use the name Maniacal Menagerie not just for a small section, but for the entire site.

And now we meet the current iteration of the Maniacal Menagerie, and the first to be FULLY MOBILE RESPONSIVE! I've learned a lot while taking web design classes in college, and I'm putting that knowledge to good use.

This is, without a doubt, the best the Maniacal Menagerie has ever been. And I have a feeling things are gonna keep getting better as I continue to learn and improve. Here's to the future!
