Previous versions

The previous “versions” of the site I didn’t keep a track of, which is a shame as a historical reference would have been a good thing to keep. However, changing WordPress themes and chopping and changing everything all the time until a sweat spot was reached would have resulted in version changes on a near daily basis. Prior to v1.0 can be considered alpha and beta stages.
