- After several months of on-again, off-again work, the latest Chainmailbasket.com revamp is finally complete. Among the changes made this time around include the implementation of a completely different layout and intuitive use of a database in which all project, weave, ring, etc. information is stored. Of course the database aspects will be fairly transparent to most users of the site, it will make updates and changes to the site a lot easier. A few things that appeared on the old version of the website have not yet been added back, such as a few miscellaneous gallery items, and information on rings used in gallery and weave entries. They will be added back in the future, as time permits. Also in the near future, I plan on updating many of the weave and some of the gallery pictures to higher quality.
I hope you enjoy the new layout, and please pass on the URL to anyone you think might be interested in viewing this website.
