Change Log (2022 - Present)
No logging of new galleries, plant family smart galleries and older "historical" galleries excepted. This does list structural changes and includes more of the minor ones than I had in the past.
2023-08-26 Deleted the "Wildflowers", "Trees", and "Grass" keywords. Not useful.
2023-08-26 Expanded the Find page Basic Keywords list to show Bryophytes and Lichen. Updated the Plant Families page similarly. (Keywords already present).
2023-08-25 Expanded the animal keyword list and made them partially hierarchical. Some keyword assignment corrections.
2023-07-17 New Carmel and Vicinity page collects galleries and folders from various Carmel area trips.

2022-12-21 CSS change to position the action menu (pop-up for 3 dot icon in header) directly under the header with no gap. Critical for home page.
2022-12-21 Photo Library page now has "By Year" block on the left. The latest years now come first. Seems a better choice for phone screens.
2022-12-06 Narrow screen (mobile) changes: enable full screen button in the lightbox, allow captions up to 8 lines in collage landscape gallery displays
2022-10-13 Adjusted search box on home page header for more clarity with darker backgrounds.

2022-01-25 Videos in the lightbox limited to 720p for better display.
Change Log (2020-21)
In December 2022, I removed simple new gallery or folder entries, so only the more major changes show.
2021-12-29 Expanded Enjoy gallery collection: added 2016 and Before. I've also removed some pictures here and there from the Enjoy galleries.
2021-10-09 Keyword adjustments to better support Enjoy galleries
2021-09-13 Expanded Enjoy gallery collection: "Other" broken into Deserts, Other-Wild, and Other-Civilized.
2021-08-31 New Plant Family Gallery: Plant Families > Tofieldiaceae
2021-08-28 Five new folders in California Coast Ranges and spread about 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019.

2021-04-05 New Plant Family Gallery: Plant Families > Calycanthaceae

2020-11-27 Introduced CSS-variable-based handling of colors on the logged-in header. Many other logged-in header CSS updates. (Tweaked over next several days.)
2020-11-09 Restored footer on most desktop pages. Various adjustments over next month.
2020-10-27 New Plant Families gallery: Plant Families > Myricaceae
2020-10-03 Two new Plant Families galleries: Plant Families > Aizoaceae and Plant Families > Frankeniaceae
2020-09-12 Expanded the Enjoy slideshows to include a choice of 8 source collections (was 2). Some keyword cleanup.
2020-09-02 Updated the 2nd sidebar menu entry to "Photo Library". It had been "Browse All". This closes the loop on the 2020-02-22 change.
2020-08-11 to -16: Revisions to the header bar -- some general but most for the logged-in user -- following SmugMug changes. Minor tweaks later.
2020-03-31 New Gallery: 2020 > Bay Area 2020 > 3/26/20 - Sunol: Indian Joe, Vista Grande, and Flag Hill. And trying out a new naming convention.
2020-02-22 Renamed what was the "Browse All" folder to Photo Library. The gallery "More Nice Pictures" is now Auxiliary Pictures. No URL changes.
2020-02-20 Rewrite of the Site Design page text to reflect database reorg. (Then bits of editing and reformatting over the next weeks.)
2020-02-16 to -20 Site database reorganization: galleries moved from topic to year folders. Very little change to website operation. The Android/iOS app display is friendlier.
2020-01-24 Various adjustments to the gallery header ("cover") section CSS, mostly dealing with narrower screens (e.g., mobiles). Some (not all) in response to SM changes.
Change Log (2017-19)

2019-12-18 Remove "Search" on mobile display menu -- it's buggy (fixed 2020-03-11) -- but add a search widget on the renamed Info > Tools & Notes page. This revises two 2018-12 changes.
