**This project is currently seeking help! Read on to learn what we need help with. To participate, connect with us in the #website channel of the LoD Discord server.

The Web 1.0 project is focused on improving the services and presentation of the website you are viewing now – which uses the WordPress CMS and runs on a Hostinger VPS.

The goal is to get the contnet and design into as ideal of a state as possible. The challenge will be a lack of volunteers – therefore some issues will take longer than others to resolve.

Current Status

As of April 2026, the site is generally in good shape. The path forward involves expansion, and making our longstanding information even easier to discover and digest. More on this soon.

Help Wanted

We request help in the following areas:

• Padding issue: For some reason, when we apply a color to the submenu background of the navigation block, it creates a heck of a lot of padding. We need to be able to set a dropdown color without WP deciding that has to come with lots of padding and an order of fries.
• Native solutions: We’re hoping to find a better way to support features without the need for dedicated, bloated plugins.
  • Dark Mode – we have switched to a slimmer plugin that allows us to set the colors we wish for the alternate view. However, some elements of the page need to be entered in manually. We need to determine what those elements are called and write code that assigns them a custom color in the “custom CSS” field the plugin provides us.
  • Petition signatures – we use a plugin called Civist, that pipes form data to a spreadsheet and then displays the current signature count in a nice little widget on the site. Forms are relatively easy, so we want to move to an in-house form that can feed to a spreadsheet all the same without relying on Civist. Having some kind of replacement widget to display the signature count would be ideal, so we don’t have to lose functionality.

Future

FAQ

Q: Why WordPress?
A: It’s the most accessible CMS for our small team, and the one Drew had most experience with before the site was created almost ten years ago.
