- Created pages for all "Old Characters" (formerly "Trashed Characters"), meaning all pages have been created!
- Changed "Nobody Name:" to "Lesser Nobody:" and "Exiled Name:" to "Nobody Name:"
- Made minor edits to pages that needed them
- As far as I'm concerned, that's all for this site! I'm sure there will be more small things to change, but the website is mostly fleshed out
- Added a page for my OC Felix and a "Draft Page" for any random text that needs to be saved
- Added a link to the "Old Website" to the home page
- Finished archiving the old website:
- linked all "Literature" pages to their respective images
- linked all "Exiled Characters" pages to their respective images
- linked "Change Log," "Group Picture," and "Locations"
- also moved the "DeviantArt" link out of the navbar and onto the home page
- merged "Exiled 2" with "Exiled Characters" in order to stay within the five-page limit
- deleted all character, literature, and miscellaneous pages :(
- deleted the old introduction to the website, but I wanted to save it somewhere:
Wow. The title to this paragraph is a lot more fitting that I ever could have imagined when I made it, what was it now, five years ago? Time sure does fly, it seems just the other day I was nagging our members for their information.
It's been quite a journey, and it seems that our journey with this story has come to an end. Not the end we wanted, not the end we imagined, but nonetheless, it was the ending we got. Recently, however, I've taken up a bit of a new mantra, we will never forget that which has been chronicled. That's why I'm still here, still clicking away to make this site ever better. Because whether I like it or not, I created this place, and I am seldom content to settle with mediocrity.
So, welcome! I hope you can appreciate the countless hours of work put into creating not only this site, but (and more importantly) these characters. Every single person involved contributed in some way, shape, or form, and that's why I created this site: so that this work would not be lost.
Enjoy your stay, I know I have.
Richard (site creator/editor)
- C O L U M N S B O Y S: Changed the format of most main pages from one column to two, and changed the "Other Artwork" and "Written Works" sections to the two column format (that's how it was on the old site, so I decided to make the change)
- Added all "Exiled 2 Members" and "Exiled 2 Enemies"
- Made minor edits to various pages (formatting, missing information, etc.)
- Finished up creating pages for the remaining Exiled members (Delacroix, DrBanxon, Zaverxi, Caxboj, Ojex, Daxic, Jynx, Xatsuin, Xishn, Zhymarx)
- Updated links on the "Exiled Characters" page to now target those pages
- Added all "Unranked Exiled Members" (that is: Lenxuzob, Lexinoth, Sabixel, Xalatine, and Xenge) and linked them
- Added all "Unranked Exiled Traitors" (Jixah, Lonex, Myromex, Skyx, Temallox, Toxit, and Zallex)
- Added all "Other Characters" (Darthex, Lorixssa, and Xemo)
- Moved the abilities/weapons for the Exiled 2 to the "Exiled 2" page
- Moved the literature for the Exiled 2 to the "Exiled 2" page
- Moved "Exiled 2" out of "Exiled Characters" and made it it's own item on the navigation bar
- Added v1 pictures that I found for Rextanse and Zhymarx
- Added group pictures for the traitors, keybladers, and Mystic Order on the "Exiled Characters" page
- Added Banxius "v2" picture
- Decided on the general formatting for character pages, and subsequently updated Zaxeldion's page
- Added Rextanse, Xowlin, Xana, Zixan, Kaarix, Xodyc, Charxai, Ruxel, and Salix
- Finished "Literature" page ("Exiled 2" and "Other Stories")
- Removed links on this page that targeted the old site. They were going to have to go eventually!
- Updated the "Abilities and Weapons" page to suit my liking
- Created/finished Zaxeldion's page
- Added a lot of literature pages - all under "Before the Exiled," "Recruitment," and "Organization XIII Saga"
- Added "Forums" and "DeviantArt" links to the homepage
- HA. YOU THOUGHT WE WERE DONE?!
- Created the "Google Site", because I found out that this sweet thing exists.
- Transferred over text for most pages (Exiled Characters, Exiled 2, Attributes and Weapons, Literature).
- Created the "Change Log," "Group Picture", and "Locations" pages.
- Still have to make every single character page, as well as every single literature page. But, it's a start!
- Just finished the last bit of the Exiled 2 page. Not much to report, just wanted to say that I am. . . done? Weird.
- Been slowly chipping away at getting all of the character pages consistent across the board. Right now, everything on the "Exiled Characters" page is done, and the "Exiled 2" page is about 80% of the way there.
- Created this change log page. Really tired of having the home page cluttered up like that.
- Finished the "Attributes and Weapons" page. Added a 'Trashed Characters' list to that
- Changed all of the links on this page to make sure they were consistent with the current site
- added two new pieces of lit: DrB's Recruitment and Xana vs. Zexion
- standardizing templates - all categories (for example, Name:) are now just underlined, not bolded.
- Colons (:) are no longer underlined. There is a subtitle for each grouping, and a text box beneath.
- All links going anywhere other than charxaichronicles will open a new window/tab
- Other Artwork/Written works will be bolded/centered at the bottom of the page (in 2 column format)
- All links will link to imgur. I want everything to be centralized, no more photobucket for me!
- Also, all links to Ojike's drawings of each character will now be called "[ ] Bust"
- Pictures will be ordered thus: Bust -> -> spin-off -> etc. -> v1 etc. -> sprite
- I also made an executive decision to include all categories, even if the information isn't available for that character. If it's left blank, the information doesn't exist.
To do list:
- Make all templates consistent across all pages (this includes links!)
- Make sure all of the Exiled Characters are in the right category
- Make sure all of my pictures aren't using the dumb webs widget
- Finish up Exiled 2 by moving all of the pages over and linking them in Done! 3/22
- Actually flesh out the "Written Works" page, removing the need for Charxai Archives (shed a tear). Done 3/30
- Finish up that weapons and attributes page. Need to get all of the links in (haha nope, forget that), also need to figure out what I'm going to do with the weapons.
- Figure out what I'm going to do with the background, if anything (nothing)
- Characters finished so far: The Exiled Order, Unranked Exiled Members, Unranked Exiled Traitors
- (dark horse) Tanaryx
- Written works page - complete. Now all of the pages are contained within this website.
- fiddling around with character pages - henceforth all images shall link to imgur and open in a new window, and all written works will link to within this website.
- UPDATE on removing .htm - Aha! All I had to do was rename the pages, sexy.
- Talked with webs support about removing the underline from my links, not possible. I could only achieve that if I used custom html boxes everywhere.
- Speaking of custom html, that's how all of the pictures are now going to be entered. The picture app here puts a border around every image, which is no bueno. It also runs every image through a (in my experience, highly unreliable) server. I just don't want to mess with it. Getting this done for every member is certainly on the to-do list!
- Finished* the Exiled Characters page. We'll see what changes need to get implemented from here on out.
- I started testing out what I want to do with the character pages on Charxai. I think I've got down what I want to do, but we'll see how that turns out.
- Also, created a locations page. This was a part of the template that I never really understood (there was never any consistency between characters), so I decided to remove it from all of the pages. BUT, I hate destroying information, so it will all be saved there.
- My next goal is to finish Exiled 2. I have all of the names typed in, just need to move the pages over and link them in. Seems daunting, but I can get it done. UPDATE: Got it done! And man, it was a bit rough.
- Wow! In search of information about Zallex, I realized I was missing a few things. I did find some info on Zallex, hopefully I can make a page for him.
- The Mystic Order was missing a member, so I added Xohnect in there.
- I added an "Alias" column to the Mystic Order
- I linked all of the Mystic order members to their respective pictures
- I linked the mystic order title to their backstory
- I realized that The Keybladers never had a spot on this website. So I created a whole table with them, and linked all of their names to pictures
- I linked the keybladers group picture to their title, it was too good looking to leave out
- Remaking the Exiled Characters page as we speak. Trying to move all of the characters over to one website, and go from there.
- Also adding tables for all of the characters. I think this is more visually appealing than the old style of just listing them out, but I may have to change that up. I really need outside opinion, my tastes fluctuate so much that it's hard to decide what is good for the website and what isn't.
- Eventually, I want all of the character pages to be consistent. I don't know what that will look like, but I want them to be easy to navigate. If you want to find out how tall Daxic is, you should be able to click on his page, and look at the seventh item, and boom, there's the height. I want the website to be fluid, so that anyone who happens to be perusing it doesn't get lost in the sea of information.
- Redid the Exiled 2 page as well. Obviously there's still a lot of work to be done, but I've got the framework down.
- It seems that the Charxai Archives website is going down as well, and all of our written works will be listed on a page called, well, "Written Works."
- Trying to remove all of the ".htm" tags(?) from the end of webpages. This means that I'm remaking every page that was originally a part of this website, even if graphically they'll look as they had before.
- I've decided to rename our title of "Elements/Powers/Abilities" to "Attributes." I feel like that one word encompasses the other three, it's easier to say, and (from a web designer's perspective) it's easy to fit into the title.
- On the Exiled Characters page, I changed the formatting of the original Exiled cast. Now the members are in an invisible table, where before I was using spaces to try and even everything out. Not sure if I like the current setup, will probably change more in the future.
- On the newly named "Attributes/Weapons" page, I've decided to change the name of the paragraphs to "List of Attributes" and "List of Weapons" instead of "Attributes Taken" and "Weapons Taken." The word "taken" hearkens back to a day when new members were enrolling, and these things were something to be kept to each individual creator. Now, it's just a list of what has been created.
- On the same page, I've begun linking attributes to their respected "user" (for example, the attribute "Nitrogen" now opens a new page for Charxai when clicked on). I plan on doing the same with the weapons, and all extraneous attributes/weapons will be removed from the list.
- A quick side note, I'm planning on changing the layout of the "Attributes/Weapons" page. I don't like the way it looks (I never really have), but I can' think of a better way to organize it. I may not end up going through with this, but I feel like it's worth noting.
Man, who would have thought I would still be at it after all of these years? Overdrive (the founding father of the Exiled) posted in the thread on KHI the other day, and I couldn't help but clean up the site a little bit. So, here's a few of the changes I've made over the past few days:
- I streamlined the top bar, which involved a few steps:
- I renamed "Exiled 1 Characters" to "Exiled Characters."
- Since webs has now decreased the number of pages per account, when I accidentally deleted the old Exiled 2 page, I had to completely remake it on my 7th (wow!) account. That link can now be found in the Exiled Characters page, at the bottom.
- I consolidated the Elements/Powers/Abilities and the Weapons page into one, I always felt like the former page should've just been called "Elements" anyways, so now the page has been dubbed "Elements/Weapons"
- Changed the name of our deviantART page to (fittingly enough) "deviantART," where before it had just been "Exiled Pictures" (or something like that).
- I removed the "Exiled Story" link and replaced it with "Charxai Archives," a link to the former page can now be found on the latter.
- I updated the "Guestbook" page to the new "Guestbook app," and made sure the link was consistent on all of the sites.
- I changed the size of the wallpaper, but it didn't quite have the desired effect. I don't know how to fix it, though, so it's just going to have to keep looking fly on 1920x1080 resolutions.
- With changing the wallpaper, I went through all of the pages and made sure that it wasn't being covered up by old wallpaper images, or worse, that KH2 logo tiled over and over and over and over and....
- In remaking the Exiled 2 page, I had a lot of formatting to do. Not really anything worthwhile, but it took me a pretty long time to finish.
- I changed the front page, splitting it into two paragraphs: one for a little introduction, and one for a change log. Hopefully, it's a bit easier to look at now.
- I changed all of the websites to use the new site editor. Nothing should be noticeable on this end, but I felt that it was finally time to get with the times.
- There used to be a group picture on this page, and I decided it no longer belonged. If you want to take a gander, check it out here.
- Ojike, (Daxic's creator), has started the Exiled Manga. Only have the first page up, but we hope that progress will continue to roll. Link.
- The ranks were changed to order of recruitment. We got numbers 1-20 sorted out, so 21-31 are just the order they were in. Here's a list:
1. Zaxeldion - Founding Member
2. Rextanse - Founding Member
3. Xowlin - Founding Member
4. Xana - Founding Member

- Added a new section - "Alternative Works of Literature", which is for side-stories and the like that contain the member.

- Anyways, I've just been doing a lot of house cleaning with the Exiled site, not really anything major. A change here and there. However, the character with any recognizable change has been Xana. She even drew a new picture!
- Also, I've decided to add an "Alternate Pictures" category to the character pages, so that we can see how the characters have progressed over the years.
