Old content from the homepage was moved to existing pages (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.roysac.com\/sac.asp\">SAC homepage<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roysac.com\/roy.asp\">About Me<\/a> page), to its own page (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.roysac.com\/bbs.asp\">Closed Society BBS<\/a>) or simply deleted.<\/p>\n<p><b>ASCII Art Academy<\/b><br \/>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roysac.com\/ascii_art_primer.asp\">ASCII art primer<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roysac.com\/roy-sac_styles_of_underground_text_art.asp\">three styles of the underground text art scene<\/a> articles can not be found in the top navigation anymore. I created a whole new section call the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roysac.com\/learn\/default.asp\">ASCII Art Academy<\/a>. The academy refers to those two articles and to a lot more stuff, including the existing ASCII art tutorials by Solid and DiamonDie plus five new ASCII art tutorials and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roysac.com\/asciiarthistory.asp\">History of ASCII Art<\/a> article by Joan G. Stark.<\/p>\n<p>The new <b>ASCII Art Academy<\/b> can also be reached via the simple URL <b>RoySAC.com\/learn\/<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Art Galleries<\/b><br \/>I had already four art galleries for my own stuff. Three more were added when my site took over as Superior Art Creations homepage. Then I added two more with ASCII and ANSI art from other artists and don&#8217;t forget the special ASCII Nudes gallery and the ASCII morph pieces by Skylined. <\/p>\n<p><b>Stuff was all over the place.<\/b> <\/p>\n<p>The galleries got a new &#8220;splash page&#8221; called&#8230; right, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roysac.com\/galleries.asp\">Art Galleries<\/a>, which provides easy access to all the galleries and art pieces mentioned above.<\/p>\n<p><b>Contact Page<\/b><br \/>In the case that you did not notice, I also have a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roysac.com\/contact.asp\">contact form<\/a> available now where you can send me a message without the need to dig for my email address and using your email client. <\/p>\n<p><b>Site Navigation<\/b><br \/>The top navigation and additional text navigation in the footer of the site reflect the new structure of my site. I hope it makes things less confusing and make people actually find all the nice stuff, which I made available on my website.<\/p>\n<p><b>Unchanged<\/b><br \/>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roysac.com\/sac.asp\">SAC section<\/a> grew in size a little, the same is true for my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roysac.com\/roy.asp\">About Me<\/a> page, but the rest remained pretty much the same as it was before.
