PrepMaster moves off the home page&#39;s Featured Works (it&#39;s still in Works). Sharper logo: redrawn as a vector so it stays crisp at any size. Light mode: no more dark shadows under the scrolling banners. Project images now load in the background once a page is ready, so they&#39;re there when you scroll to them. Music turned down further. Sitemap updated with the new project and last-updated dates, plus a new RSS feed (linked in the footer) so search engines and feed readers pick up new work straight away.</description></item><item><title>Site update v2.4</title><link>https://odunayobolarinwa.com/changelog/#v2.4</link><guid isPermaLink="false">odb-changelog-v2.4</guid><pubDate>Mon, 12 Oct 2026 12:00:00 +0000</pubDate><description>New full-screen menu: shutters drop over the page and the links stand up in 3D. On desktop the list tilts with your mouse and the word you point at lifts in green with a giant outline behind it. On phones it is a stack of big numbered slabs with the controls in a thumb dock, and you can swipe down to close it. The logo now leads the home hero, right above the photo; the sound, x-ray, theme and language controls sit smaller at the top left. Clicks now make a short video-game keypad blip, and the music and clicks are quieter. Works page: shorter intro, and the project count now reads 22+ (it includes the custom Shopify and WordPress themes and plugins).</description></item><item><title>Site update v2.3</title><link>https://odunayobolarinwa.com/changelog/#v2.3</link><guid isPermaLink="false">odb-changelog-v2.3</guid><pubDate>Mon, 12 Oct 2026 12:00:00 +0000</pubDate><description>Sound: a mysterious ambient soundscape and a click sound, all generated live in the browser (no audio files). It starts as you enter and only plays while you are on the tab; the speaker button in the nav and mobile menu turns it off.</description></item><item><title>Site update v2.2</title><link>https://odunayobolarinwa.com/changelog/#v2.2</link><guid isPermaLink="false">odb-changelog-v2.2</guid><pubDate>Mon, 12 Oct 2026 12:00:00 +0000</pubDate><description>Home hero: a code-to-photo portrait. Move your mouse over it (or watch it sweep on phones) to decode the code back into the photo. Smart cursor on desktop: it says VIEW, OPEN, PLAY or DRAG depending on what you point at, with a soft spotlight in dark mode. The original home portrait now lives on the About page.</description></item><item><title>Site update v2.1</title><link>https://odunayobolarinwa.com/changelog/#v2.1</link><guid isPermaLink="false">odb-changelog-v2.1</guid><pubDate>Mon, 12 Oct 2026 12:00:00 +0000</pubDate><description>CULTUR FM Totes: new Featured build for the Tote Emails plugin (v2.0.0), with branded confirmation and dispatch emails and automatic Printful tracking.
