Hey, y'all. So we have some news. A lot of us are familiar with the good ole timeline pages that are just a long, big mess that are never updaated. It's just a mess in general, honestly. Anyway, we're planning on changing that and creating new timeline pages for individual characters. For an example, click here to view Lola's timeline. I'm going to go over the basics on how to edit the page and such. Luckily for you I made everything a template, so it's very easy to do.

At the top of the page, you'll notice a section called "In Progress." Basically, this is meant for you to keep up with current and incomplete roleplays. As you can see, Lola has four current rps going on. If you have a certain number, a little scrollbar pops up. In order to use this template, simply copy the following code:

Now, we have the actual timeline section. You can use the te new template to start this section. Now, Paloma wasn't created until 2015, so her first part will say Pre-2015 and 2015 next to each other. Other characters may say things like Pre-2014 and 2014 or even Pre-2013 and 2013. It all depends. Again, there will be a scrollbar that appears after a certain number of roleplays. That code is also fairly simple and you simply only have to copy the following:

Now time for the next timeline code that is also fairly simple. It's meant for if your character has an odd amount of timelines and needs one to take up the whole space. It's pretty simple. The code is the following:

As you can see, it's basically the same thing as the timeline template above. Now, if a new year starts, you only have to change the template name to Timeline1 and add the sections title2 and timeline2 to include information. You can also check out Damian Mendez/Timeline to see another example of timelines. His isn't nearly finished yet, but you can see an example of timelines that started in a different year.

Also you can add AU timelines or links to those rps so you can read up on them. You can use whichever template you want for that.

Of course, this isn't a requirement for everyone to do. It's only if you want to keep track of your character roleplays. It also looks much, much nicer than our old timeline pages. If you do decide to create a timeline for your character, a little link to it will appear on your character's page next to the link for Lumblr Network. You can see where it is on Paloma Sanchez and Damian Mendez. It will only appear if you decide to create a timeline though.

Finally, we're going to be updating school pages. You'll probably begin to notice how some schools have official school colors while others do not. That's because we haven't really decided on them yet. If you have any suggestions for them, let us know. We only have colors for HGS, MBHS, and BHS. If you have suggestions for other schools, list them below!

I think that's about it. If you have any questions about timelines, please ask me and I'll be glad to help.
