2023
9-13-2023	I password protected a few of the more "personal" pages on this site. I felt it was necessary for privacy reasons. These pages include: Journal Entries, Gallery pages, and the websites in my List of Other Websites page. I may reopen in the future but for now I want to keep these private and focus more on the public Tamagotchi site. Disabled Log In for security reasons. Modified some of my Tamagotchi pages to have slightly less personal information for my privacy. Nothing substantial! Added a blur to the background of the Osutchi & Mesutchi page's container div to help with legibility of the text.
