The site has changed a lot over the last few days. The short version is that dancary.com is no longer just a single resume-style page. It is becoming a small personal hub with a front door, a preserved resume, a blog, search, and project pages that can grow over time.
A clearer front door
The home page now works as an entry point instead of trying to carry the whole site by itself. It points visitors toward the major sections: projects, the blog, the resume, and search.
That sounds basic, but it matters. It means the site can hold different kinds of work without forcing everything into one page or one identity.
Projects have room now
The projects page gives active work a place to live. Two projects are already visible there.
The Bob Cary WWII Research project has become the largest section so far. It now includes a project overview, timeline, mission map, evidence page for Mission Report 436, a page asking for help identifying records, and a few story-style pages that make the research more readable.
The NPS thesis project has also been rebuilt as a public portfolio-style summary. It presents the final thesis topic, the services-acquisition problem, the KPI framework, and the recommendations without publishing private drafts or source material.
Blog and search are in place
The blog shows the newest writing first and keeps older updates easy to find from the same page. The result is a quick, focused reading path without extra clutter.
The new search page covers the active site pages and pulls in blog entries from the blog index. As more pages and posts are added, search should become the quickest way to find what is already here.
A visual refresh without a rebuild
The top-level pages also got a shared visual refresh. The main pages now share a cleaner navigation bar, softer panels, glass-style surfaces, better page previews, and a more consistent footer.
The Bob Cary research pages keep their own warmer, historical visual style so that project still feels distinct from the rest of the site.
What comes next
The main goal is to keep the site useful and easy to change. That means adding posts when there is something worth saying, expanding project pages when the work develops, and keeping older material organized instead of letting it define the whole domain.
The HTTPS certificate issue mentioned during the early cleanup has since been fixed, and the site now verifies normally over HTTPS. The certificate still needs routine renewal checks, but the structure is now in place: a place for new writing, a place for projects, and a better way for visitors to move around.
