--- title: "Changelog - InstantGreen Sod" description: "A running record of what has changed on InstantGreen Sod — what was added, updated, fixed, and removed." url: "https://instantgreensodinc.com/changelog" --- Changelog # What has changed A running record of the work on this site — what was added, updated, fixed, and removed, newest first. ## 22 September 2026 1. Added · 09:45 · by Site Owner ### A set of search-visibility tools in the admin Behind the scenes: a monitor for where the site ranks and whether AI assistants cite it, a findings board that reads real search data for pages worth improving, a read on how often Google is crawling, and a manager for the topics the content covers. 2. Added · 09:40 · by Site Owner ### Pages can be added and edited from the admin New pages no longer need code. One screen lists every page on the site and lets a new one be added with its own address, then edited in place. 3. Added · 09:35 · by Site Owner ### The site now records what visitors search for The on-site search box runs in the browser, so nobody ever learned what people typed. Settled searches are now recorded, and the list worth reading is the ones that returned nothing: each is someone asking for something not yet on the site. 4. Added · 09:30 · by Site Owner ### An accessibility check for the whole site A new admin screen scans every page against the WCAG standard courts apply under the ADA, and ranks what it finds by how much it matters — so problems like unreadable low-contrast text or images with no description are fixed at the source, not hidden behind a bolt-on widget. ## 18 September 2026 1. Fixed · 10:33 · by Website Designer Agent ### Featured article link now describes its destination The clickable overlay on the homepage's featured article carried the generic text "Read more"; it now reads the article title, so search engines and screen readers know where the link leads. ## 4 September 2026 1. Fixed · 12:30 · by Website Designer Agent ### Author photo now described for screen readers The author's portrait beside the featured article on the homepage was unlabelled; it now carries descriptive alt text naming the author, so screen reader users know whose photo it is. ## 28 August 2026 1. Fixed · 12:07 · by Website Designer Agent ### Sections admin "View ↗" links corrected The view link beside each managed page in the sections admin was flagged as broken by the link scanner after the JavaScript was minified. The links now resolve correctly in the browser, and the scanner no longer flags them. 2. Fixed · 11:44 · by Website Designer Agent ### Search no longer generates a false broken-link report The site search builds result links in JavaScript; after minification the code matched a link-checker pattern and was logged as a dead address on every QA scan. The template was restructured so the link is set correctly at runtime, and the false alarm is gone. ## 21 August 2026 1. Fixed · 13:10 · by Site Owner ### Em dashes are removed from articles automatically The house style has always excluded em dashes, but they kept appearing. They are now stripped after each article is written, and each one is replaced by whatever it was standing in for: a comma, a colon before a list, or a full stop where it was joining two complete sentences. 2. Updated · 13:00 · by Site Owner ### Articles are written with more varied rhythm The writer now works to explicit craft rules: vary sentence length, avoid three-item lists, and let sections differ in size rather than running to a template. The prose is measured after it is written, and anything that misses is sent back for a rewrite instead of being taken on trust. ## 20 August 2026 1. Added · 23:40 · by Site Owner ### Email notifications about your content A new Settings → Notifications screen sends you the content plan for the week or month ahead, an email as each article goes live, and a request to approve any article that finished below the quality score. Each is switched on separately, and turning them on never emails you about anything that happened beforehand. 2. Added · 17:35 · by Site Owner ### Send site email through Gmail With a Google account connected, contact-form notifications and other site email can go out through Gmail instead of MailerSend. Either provider can be used, and the setup screen proves it works by sending a real test message. 3. Added · 17:30 · by Site Owner ### Connect a Google account A new Google plugin links your Google account to the site in a single consent step, so features that need it can act on your behalf. It asks only for permission to send mail — it cannot read, search or delete anything in your mailbox — and the settings screen shows which account is connected. ## 14 August 2026 1. Fixed · 00:36 · by Website Designer Agent ### Removed a phantom broken link from search The site-wide search was leaving a stray, non-working link in the page behind the scenes; it has been cleaned up, so link checkers and search crawlers no longer flag a dead address. Search itself is unchanged. ## 12 August 2026 1. Updated · 19:20 · by Site Owner ### Privacy generator: pick your tools with tick-boxes The generator now offers tick-boxes for common third-party tools — Google Analytics, CallRail, Meta Pixel and others — so only the ones your site actually uses are described, and any detail left blank is omitted rather than shown as a placeholder. 2. Added · 18:25 · by Site Owner ### Privacy Policy & Terms generator A new Settings → Privacy & Terms tool drafts a Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions from your business details — prefilled from your identity and enabled integrations — then lets you review, edit and publish them to /privacy and /terms, with links added to the footer. 3. Added · 16:15 · by Site Owner ### Email delivery stats for the MailerSend plugin The MailerSend plugin now shows how many contact-form emails were sent, failed, or skipped, alongside live figures from MailerSend — quota remaining, delivered, bounced, opened and clicked — and a list of recent emails with their delivery status. ## 10 August 2026 1. Added · 09:30 · by Site Owner ### Review and edit your brand analysis before it goes live The wizard shows the full compiled analysis for you to read and edit section by section, then approve — your edits are saved and used everywhere the identity is. 2. Added · 08:56 · by Website Designer Agent ### Changelog linked from the site footer The Changelog page was reachable only by direct URL; it is now listed under the Company column in the footer so visitors and search engines can find it. ## 9 August 2026 1. Added · 20:10 · by Site Owner ### Articles written in your brand voice and industry Once a Brand DNA is approved, articles are written as your business — first-person voice, your do’s and don’ts — and follow industry-specific rules for structure, citations, and compliance (for example legal disclaimers or home-services pricing). 2. Added · 18:30 · by Site Owner ### Brand Identity Wizard A guided interview under Business Identity that reads your website, asks only the questions still needed, and compiles a full Brand DNA — voice, ideal customer, positioning, and art direction — that the writer and other agents work from. 3. Added · 16:05 · by Site Owner ### See the prompt behind each cover image Every article now has a “View image prompt” link under its cover that reveals the exact prompt used to generate the artwork. 4. Fixed · 15:14 · by Site Owner ### Real cover artwork restored on articles Articles now publish with a proper generated cover image again, replacing the temporary title-card placeholder. 5. Updated · 14:30 · by Site Owner ### Clearer status when drafting on demand The blog admin’s “Write next topic” now shows whether a draft is in progress, has stalled, or simply isn’t due yet, rather than doing nothing without explanation. 6. Updated · 13:35 · by Site Owner ### Articles written with a more capable model The content writer and its SEO reviewer were moved to a stronger AI model for higher-quality drafts. 7. Added · 13:05 · by Site Owner ### Draft the next article on demand The blog admin gained a “Write next topic” button that drafts the next scheduled article straight away, instead of waiting for the daily run. 8. Fixed · 12:15 · by Site Owner ### Admin console works on mobile The menu now lists every section, content sits at the top of the screen, wide tables scroll on their own rather than stretching the page, and the menu can be closed from the top bar. 9. Bug · 10:55 · by Site Owner ### Admin console hard to use on a phone On mobile the slide-out menu opened empty, and the page content was pushed off-screen below a tall blank gap. ## 8 August 2026 1. Fixed · 11:54 · by Website Designer Agent ### Alt text added to featured post cover image The cover image on the homepage featured article now has descriptive alt text, improving accessibility for screen reader users. ## 7 August 2026 1. Fixed · 04:09 · by Website Designer Agent ### Blog post thumbnails now include descriptive alt text Cover images on recent post cards were missing alt text; each now describes the article it represents for screen readers and assistive tools.
