Email addresses are assembled in-browser with a copy-to-clipboard fallback, so they no longer sit in the page source as plain text. Home: center the portrait with its text, crop and widen the photo, and give the intro paragraphs a uniform style. About: refresh the media section (KITP wording, Space.com feature), and add the ice-caves and teaching photos. Research: side-by-side hero with a cropped image, ADS-before-arXiv links, reordered movies with linked paper citations, a collAIder entry, and prospective-student highlights (Gibson, Vanderzyden, Chambers) with grad-school outcomes. Outreach: feature the YouTube lecture channel with three lectures, add NASA Universe, and drop the retired Chandra link. Favorite Links: remove the Learning astrophysics section.
Broke up the Research page into four separate pages: the new pages are Publications, Simulations, and Students. The previous Publications tab that jumped the visitor to ADS has been replaced with content. Tweaked wording throughout, such as on the Students page.
- Combine the Outreach and Favorite Links tabs into a single page: the featured videos (reordered intro/advanced/constellations) and outreach categories sit up top, and all links render as a compact card grid. Redirect the old /outreach/ URL to /links/. - Add StarSmasher identity: emblem artwork (light/dark/transparent), a favicon set (ico + apple-touch + 512) derived from the mark, and place the emblem in the research page's Software section. - Home banner portrait now keeps its aspect ratio; simulations show two larger columns on laptops; stylesheet link is cache-busted per build. - Expand "NASA ADS" wording; ignore editor autosave files.
- About: new "Beyond physics" genealogy content built around the 1852 Naples foundling record of Maria Anna Armato, with the two photos stacked in a single right-hand column and text wrapping beside them. - For Students: a list of papers co-authored with undergraduates, each title linked to its abstract, with Allegheny students shown in bold and marked with an asterisk. - Favorite Links: add a StarSmasher card under Research tools and a new "Observing tonight" section (Heavens-Above, Tonight's Sky, Clear Outside); remove the Explore-the-universe Webb card and the SEDS Messier card.
…nks, linked to the Yang et al. (2026) paper from a Simulation card
The repository is being renamed to jalombar.github.io so GitHub Pages serves it at the domain root. Set baseurl to "" so every relative_url link resolves from / instead of /personal-website/, and update the README accordingly.
Give each key page a descriptive, keyword-rich <title> and lead the homepage title with the site name plus specialty via a tagline. Enrich the homepage copy and meta description so the terms the site should be found for (computational astrophysics, stellar collisions, hydrodynamic simulations, StarSmasher, collAIder) appear in visible text.
Adds the site-verification meta tag to the shared layout head so ownership of https://jalombar.github.io/ can be confirmed in Search Console.
Drop the /outreach/ redirect stub from the Favorite Links front matter, and clear the leftover "Outreach" wording from a data-file comment, a CSS comment, and the README (which still listed the deleted _data/outreach.yml).
