A plain account of how this site has changed and why, newest first. On a site whose purpose is to hold a town’s own records up against its own ordinances, a record of what the site itself has done is not an indulgence. Each entry says what changed and what it was for.
This site reads Worland’s dog ordinances against the town’s own public records. Three pages: the plain reading for an owner who just wants to know the rules, the ordinance text in full on a page of its own, and the audit — the page-by-page comparison that is the site’s whole reason to exist.
It is the oldest site in this family, first published in August, and for the last several weeks it has deliberately not moved.
That stillness is the point. It is the exemplar the grant proposal points at, and an exemplar that keeps being rewritten is not an exemplar. Nothing in the audit has been softened.
Column C on every site in this family now opens by telling the reader what kind of column it is — that prior know-how is assumed and the items get more technical toward the bottom. It was added here too, on the audit page and the ordinance page, so that a reader arriving from one site to another finds the same promise in the same place.
The ordinance page also gained a second internal card. One recent change is a headline; two is a record.
A card at the foot of every page now points one level up, to the proposal that uses this site as its example. Before that, a reader who found the dog ordinances had no way of knowing there was anything behind them, and a reader of the proposal had to take the exemplar on trust.
The most important entry on this page is one where nothing was built.
This site is the practical exemplar in the Washakie County grant proposal, which may be presented to the City Council — and the City is among the likely sponsors of that grant. The instruction was to leave the site exactly as it is, and in particular not to soften or remove the signage material: the paragraph about the parks, the photographs, and the audit’s finding that there are ten city parks and not one sign about dogs.
The temptation in that position is obvious, and worth naming. A site about to be shown to a city council, by someone hoping that council will sponsor a grant, is under quiet pressure to become less pointed. It did not. The finding stands in the same words it was written in, and this entry exists so that anyone can check that it does.
A share card at last, so a link to this site posted anywhere stops looking like a broken preview. And Phone view — the tool that shows a page at real phone widths — made developer-only here: useful to whoever builds a page, clutter to somebody looking up whether their dog needs a license.
Before any of the rest of this family existed. The format was still being worked out, and a good deal of what threecolumns.online now describes as the method was first tried here, on a real subject, to see whether it held up outside a demonstration.
