Updates

Publication date and a brief record of what has been added or changed on this site since launch.

Site creation: — first published. Entries below are in reverse chronological order (newest first).

Home page footer

Updated the home page content date and removed the footer photograph credit line.

A–Z helplist — War topic

Added War: a human-centred study of the Second World War’s causes, aftermath, and long consequences, plus a closing section on whether war is ever worth the cost and what might help humanity choose peace instead. Four in-depth sections with photographs, matching the usual A–Z topic layout. New topic card on a2zhelp.html — information only, not political or military advice.

Site access — routing and setup flow updated

Routing and setup flow on the server has been updated so visitors landing on the secondary web address now reach site pages directly while the primary address is being brought back online. No content was changed.

Search-engine and social-share metadata refresh

Several behind-the-scenes improvements were made so that public pages are easier to find and look better when shared.

  • robots.txt was rewritten. Search engines may now index every visitor-facing public page (home, contact, Bhodi’s page, this updates page, privacy, terms), while internal redirects and server-side endpoints stay out of the index.
  • sitemap.xml was regenerated with all current public pages and today’s date, so search engines pick the changes up promptly.
  • Bhodi’s page now carries a full set of meta tags — page description, canonical address, Open Graph block, and Twitter card — so links to it show a proper title, summary, and preview image on social platforms.

Footer dedication — “grandson Bhodi” now links to his page

Across the site, the footer dedication line now turns the words grandson Bhodi into a link to his dedicated page at Bhodi.html. The change appears on the home page, the A–Z help index and topic pages, the contact pages, and this updates page, so visitors can reach Bhodi’s page from any footer in one click. The link inherits the dedication’s gold tone so it blends in with the surrounding text, and only changes to a slightly softer shade after it has been clicked. The page generator template was updated too, so future regenerated topic pages keep the link.

onefortheroadmap.co.uk — countdown and second web address

This site is reachable at two web addresses. Its primary, canonical address remains onefortheroadmap.co.uk; the same content is also served from www.onefortheroadmap.co.uk/wer1/, which the server automatically redirects to the canonical address. Either URL will get you to the same pages, so existing bookmarks continue to work either way.

A new countdown page at the onefortheroadmap.co.uk domain root shows time left until 24 June 2026, 18:00 (UK), with a beach background video, readable text over the image, an approximate visit counter, and support contact. A first-load display glitch was fixed so background wording no longer flashes before styles load.

A–Z helplist search: better jump targets

Topic pages now include a small anchor point just above each heading so that when you choose a match from the helplist search box, the page scrolls to a readable position (with space below the fixed top bar). The search index includes headings from level 1 through 6. Stylesheet cache-bust was bumped so visitors pick up the new scroll behaviour.

Image URLs: Unsplash photos that had gone missing (404)

Several images.unsplash.com links had stopped resolving, so hero and section photos on the Police and Bhagavad Gita pages (and a few other topic pages) could appear blank. Each was replaced with a working Unsplash image. A small scripts/check_unsplash_urls.py helper can re-check links after future edits.

CSS: one main stylesheet, no inline blocks

Helplist search styles, topic-only tweaks (for example Money, Police, Education, Coding), and the internal podcast link table styling were moved into styles-index2.css. Inline <style> blocks were removed from HTML pages. Stylesheet links use a cache-busting query (?v=6) so visitors pick up the new file after deploy.

Internal link check and page status notes

A small script under scripts/ was added to confirm internal href targets point to files in this project (with index.php allowed as the live host entry). Top-of-file comments were updated for setup, legacy, and internal-only pages to say which are not the main “finished” public experience.

Editor guide comments in page source

HTML comments were added at the start of public pages and before major blocks (for example the header and main content) to explain, in plain language, how the site is structured and what each part is for. This is for people editing the files; it does not change the visible text on the site.

Site header — larger “One For The Roadmap” wordmark

The “One For The Roadmap” logo in the top bar (every page that uses the shared header, including A–Z helplist) is scaled up by about 20% on desktop and mobile so it lines up better with the navigation.

Home page visitor strip — no PHP / host message

The extra line of copy about PHP and local file viewing was removed from the visitor summary area; the counts and the short explanation of how they work remain when the stats service responds.

Home page — “check our latest updates” with the visitor summary

The short line encouraging people to read the Updates page is no longer under the main menu. It now sits in the home page strip with the visitor summary, so the header stays a single clean bar. Contrast for that text uses the same light panel and dark type as the counts.

Site header — Updates in the top navigation

Updates (changelog) is linked from the compact site header next to Contact and A–Z help on the home page, helplist, contact page, and other main layouts, and from topic pages under a2z/ with the correct relative path to updates.html.

Religion — Bhagavad Gita summary

Added a long-form summary page on the Bhagavad Gita (duty, Karma-Yoga, devotion, knowledge, cosmology — study notes). It appears in the Religion topic picker on every Religion subpage, as a visual card on A–Z helplist, in structured data for topics, and in the heading search index — information only, not religious instruction.

Home page visit counter — one per day, without bots

The home page stats line now shows unique visitors today and an all-time total, using the server script at api/site-stats.php (PHP). A new visit is registered at most once per public network address per calendar day (UK time), using a hashed placeholder instead of storing full addresses, and many common automated clients are excluded. An approximate “viewing now” line is unchanged. Per-day history is saved on the host for reference.

A–Z helplist — Whitley Strieber, The Key

Added Whitley Strieber — The Key: study notes from audio on the “Master of the Key” encounter, radiant-body theory, secrecy framing, and related themes (information only — claims reported as in the source). New topic card on a2zhelp.html, JSON-LD list entry, and search index headings.

A–Z helplist — Meditation topic

Added Meditation to the topic grid on a2zhelp.html, with an overview page and a mindful meditation guide derived from audio notes (posture, visualization, compassion, grounding). JSON-LD and the heading search index include the new pages.

Religion — Tolstoy’s Gospel

Added Tolstoy’s Gospel (religion-tolstoys-gospel.html): study notes on Leo Tolstoy’s Gospel harmony (twelve-chapter scheme, Lord’s Prayer structure, ethics, passion narrative), with tables and quotations for students. Linked from the Religion hub and included in the religious topics dropdown on every Religion subpage.

Podcasts — Sound, Light & Frequency (Dark Skies)

Added Sound, Light & Frequency — a guide to the UFO/Hollywood podcast hosted by Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman (Dark Skies), with themes, timelines, listen links, and linked resources. The entry appears in the Podcasts topic dropdown on every podcast page alongside existing shows.

Home page — page views and current viewers

The home page now shows a short stats line: total page views for index.html (incremented once per load when the script can reach the server) and an approximate viewing now count based on recent browser “pings” (people with the home page open in the last minute or so). This needs api/site-stats.php and the api/data/ folder on the host; local file:// previews show an em dash until PHP is available.

A–Z helplist — Police and Gateway topics

Added two new A–Z help pages and topic cards on a2zhelp.html. The Police page covers local crime awareness in plain language, centres an OpenStreetMap embed on the visitor’s location (or Liverpool, UK, when location is not available), and where applicable summarises open street-level data from data.police.uk (England and Wales). The Gateway page is a readable introduction to Gateway-style practice and the Monroe Institute, with a direct link to monroeinstitute.org. The A–Z heading search index was rebuilt so these pages are included in helplist search.

HTTPS only on the live domain

Server routing was adjusted so encrypted connections are required only when visitors use the public site hostname from the public internet; local development under WAMP (including hosts-file mappings and loopback requests) can stay on plain HTTP without being redirected. A sample Apache vhost fragment was added for WAMP (wamp-http-vhost.example.conf) when AllowOverride must be enabled for .htaccess.

Main home is now index.html

The visual site home formerly published as index2.html now lives at index.html. Navigation and footer links across the site point to index.html; index2.html redirects to index.html so older bookmarks continue to work.

A–Z helplist — Coding topic and heading search

Added a Coding help topic page with curated links to independent learning resources, plus a Coding card on the A–Z helplist grid. Added a search box on the helplist so visitors can find topics and sections faster by typing words that appear in page headings. Search tokenisation was refined so hyphenated queries and Money / MoneySavingExpert-related phrases resolve to the Money topic reliably.

A–Z helplist and topic focus update

The active A–Z topic set was streamlined during this content pass to focus on a smaller group of pages at a time, improving consistency and clarity across updated topics.

The Money topic card is now restored in the live helplist grid with direct access to a2z/money.html.

Podcast pages and navigation improved

Podcast pages were updated with direct YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts links where available, and podcast dropdown lists were reorganised alphabetically for easier browsing.

Money page — expanded support and guidance

Added and expanded Money page coverage with MoneySavingExpert.com plus dedicated sections for GamCare, Turn2us, and FoodCycle.

Content was reordered and refined with updated imagery and clearer guidance so support options are easier to understand and use.

Maintenance routing refined

Temporary maintenance-route behavior was tightened so non-matching visitors are redirected away from internal maintenance endpoints.

Podcast dropdown topics now include episode headings

Updated podcast topic labels across all podcast pages so each dropdown item now includes the related featured episode heading, making topic selection clearer and more consistent.

Podcast dropdown labels updated with full episode title

Updated every podcast topic dropdown option for Strange and Unexplained so the full episode title appears consistently across all podcast pages.

Cronjobs runner with backup-first flow

Added a dedicated cronjobs task runner that creates a full-site ZIP backup before weekly media refresh execution and writes run logs.

Weekly media refresh automation added

Added a new automation workflow for scheduled image refreshes with metadata updates: scripts/weekly_media_refresh.py plus scripts/weekly-media-refresh.config.json. The flow supports curated image pools per page slot, updates page freshness dates when content rotates, and can update sitemap last-modified dates for changed pages.

Footer dedication wording updated sitewide

Updated the footer dedication text across all public pages to read My son & daughter Shaun, Louise and grandkids for consistent wording everywhere.

Contact setup flow updated

Updated contactFromSetup.html flow and navigation behavior for setup-stage visitors.

Setup contact page restored to full-page view

Replaced the temporary boxed gateway on contactFromSetup.html with a full contact-page layout so users entering from index.php now see a complete page on mobile and desktop, including contact details and normal page navigation.

Footer social links added sitewide

Added official social links to all public page footers, including X (Twitter) and Instagram.

Helping Others content expansion

Added Helping Others as a new A–Z topic, linked it from the A–Z helplist, and added a matching Helping Others section to index.html. Content focuses on kindness, trust, and the ripple effect of helping others in families and communities.

Landing flow consolidation

Updated landing flow by expanding index.php with the full core message beneath the countdown, simplifying contactFromSetup.html to a single return link, and refreshing SEO metadata, robots.txt, and sitemap.xml.

Setup hotspot flow timing updated

Adjusted the setup hotspot behavior and related user messaging for clearer handling during setup access flow.

"Coming Soon" landing page update

A custom "Coming Soon" landing page has been built into index.php, replacing the hosting provider's default Website Builder page. The page features a dramatic mountain background photograph, a live countdown timer, warm gold-to-coral-to-purple gradient typography, frosted-glass countdown cards, and a twinkling star animation — all fully self-contained and editable. The design is responsive across desktop, laptop, and mobile viewports.

A dedicated contact page (contactFromSetup.html) has been created for the Coming Soon state, with the same mountain-backdrop styling, larger accessible text sizes, and navigation that links back to the Coming Soon page rather than the main site. The robots.txt has been updated to limit crawler access except on index.php, contact.html, and contactFromSetup.html.

Site icon — custom "One For The Roadmap" favicon added

A custom site icon has been created and added as the favicon across all 30 pages. The design features people linked together in a circle surrounding a handshake at the centre, symbolising unity — everyone coming together to act as one. The colour palette matches the site's existing gold-to-teal gradient. The icon file is located at img/weareall1-icon2.ico.

One For The Roadmap site icon — people united in a circle with a handshake

Podcasts — featured episode YouTube embeds added to all four sub-pages

Each podcast sub-page now includes a featured episode section with the episode title, a direct YouTube link, a descriptive summary, and a responsive embedded YouTube player. Episodes featured: The Ancients — Alexander the Great; Bledsoe Said So — Episode 22: The First Interview; Unknown Country — The Aliens Are Based Underwater; The Joe Rogan Experience — JRE #1169 with Elon Musk (all-time most viewed podcast episode). CSS for responsive 16:9 embed wrapper added to styles-index2.css.

Podcasts — Podcast Topics dropdown and four sub-pages added

The Podcasts page now has a "Podcast Topics" dropdown (matching the pattern used by the Religion page) linking to four new sub-topic pages: The Ancients, Bledsoe Said So, Unknown Country, and The Joe Rogan Experience. Each sub-page includes a hero, the dropdown navigator, a split section, and an overview article.

Equality page — renamed to Equality & Humanity

The Equality topic card on the A–Z helplist grid and the Equality & Humanity page itself (title, hero headline, meta description, Open Graph, and Twitter card) now all read Equality & Humanity, with the hero sub-line updated to Dignity for all.

New topic — Podcasts

Added Podcasts as a new A–Z topic. Includes a hero banner and three split sections: listening, diversity of voices, and creating your own podcast. The card appears on the A–Z helplist grid and the JSON-LD item count updated to 19.

All pages — hero headlines title-cased

The hero banner headline on every A–Z topic page, plus index.html and a2zhelp.html, now uses consistent title casing (e.g. Community · We Rise Together, Health · Care For The Whole Person).

A–Z help page opened for direct viewing

The A–Z help helplist was made directly visible for visitors without extra entry steps.

A–Z help sign-in copy updated

Updated the A–Z help entry form text and helper hint copy for clarity.

Contact page — work in progress and feedback invitation

Expanded the main Contact card with a note that the site is a work in progress, an invitation to email topic or content updates to support@onefortheroadmap.co.uk, and a thank-you for patience while replies are prepared. The duplicate A–Z helplist block (topic list and grid button) was later removed from the contact page; use a2zhelp.html or the site footer for the helplist.

SEO — sitewide metadata, sitemap, and discoverability

Expanded meta descriptions and keywords (brand spellings: onefortheroadmap.co.uk, OneForTheRoadmap.co.uk, www) on index.html, a2zhelp.html, contact.html, legal pages, and every A–Z topic page; added Open Graph and Twitter cards where missing; set absolute canonical URLs to https://onefortheroadmap.co.uk/wer1/… across public HTML. The helplist now includes JSON-LD ItemList of all topics. Added robots.txt and sitemap.xml at the site root (submit the sitemap in Google Search Console after upload).

Religion sub-topic pages — hero and contextual images

Buddhism, Gnostic Texts, Pistis Sophia, and Religion (general) now use a compact hero-visual--religion-sub banner plus a split image section with short contextual copy. Photographs are from Unsplash with credits; copy clarifies that images are illustrative, not archival claims. Added CSS for the shorter hero height.

Page gutters — split sections and topic footers

Split sections (image + text rows on the home page and every A–Z topic page, including Religion) now use the same horizontal inset as .wrap: 1rem on larger viewports and 2.25rem on narrow screens, plus safe-area insets. Previously only the text column had extra padding on small screens, so images could sit flush to the viewport edge; the whole grid is inset together. The small-screen rule that reset split padding at 479px was updated so it no longer removed those side gutters. Back-button areas on topic pages use the same wider mobile gutters. Religion subpages already relied on .wrap narrow for copy; the main fix is the shared .split styles.

Layout pass — sitewide alignment and grids

Brought the rest of the site in line with the cleaned-up index.html treatment: two-column Reflect block now top-aligns like Split sections (no odd vertical centring next to tall copy). Added min-width: 0 on split text/figures, reflect columns, dual-image strip figures, and A–Z helplist grid items so images and cards don’t overflow narrow viewports. The helplist topic grid uses a safer minmax min track; the Contact page topic list uses two columns from medium widths for easier scanning. All A–Z topic pages inherit these shared styles-index2.css rules — no per-page HTML edits were required for splits.

Religion topic — dropdown and subpages

The Religion A–Z page now includes a mobile-friendly Religious Topics menu (alphabetical: Buddhism, Gnostic Texts, Pistis Sophia, Religion) linking to new template pages: Buddhism, Gnostic Texts, Pistis Sophia, and Religion (general). Styling and js/religion-topic-nav.js support the native select for reliable touch use.

A–Z Back script rename; contact helplist links

Renamed js/topic-edition.js to js/a2z-back.js (same behaviour: the Back control uses browser history when possible, otherwise navigates to a2zhelp.html). The Contact page now lists every topic with quick links plus a button to the full photo grid on the helplist.

Home page — index3 retired

Removed index3.html (text-first home). The main site home and logo target is now index.html everywhere. Footers use a single Home link; redundant “Text focus” / “Text edition” / “With images” nav links were dropped where they duplicated the same page. index.html redirects here.

A–Z — one page per topic; unified helplist

Removed separate text-only topic pages and *-visual.html URLs: each topic is now a single a2z/<topic>.html file with photographs and short sections. a2zhelp.html is the only A–Z hub (photo grid). “Text focus” / “With images” toggles on topic and helplist headers are removed, as are links that only existed for that switch. js/a2z-back.js handles Back on topic and helplist pages. index.html links to the helplist and was the main visual home; the separate text-first home page was later removed (see newest entry).

Navigation — edition switch on home and helplist pages (earlier)

On the home pages, the “Text focus” / “With images” control became a styled link instead of a native <button>. The helplist briefly used the same pattern before the helplist and topics were unified into visual-only pages (see entry above).

A–Z — Parenthood topic; Updates changelog rule

Added Parenthood to the A–Z helplist (text and visual): new a2z/parenthood.html (later merged into one visual page per topic). Linked from a2zhelp.html. Replaced broken Unsplash image URLs on the visual page (404 responses) with working photos and credits. The project rule .cursor/rules/updates-changelog-prompt.mdc now requires updating this page after substantive site work, not only when asked.

Workflow — Cursor rule for the Updates changelog (earlier)

First version of the project rule: after substantive site changes, the assistant would ask before editing updates.html. Later superseded by a rule that requires a changelog entry after substantive work unless the fix is trivial.

Performance — faster first paint on home pages

Tuned index.html for typical PageSpeed Insights goals: preconnect to images.unsplash.com, preload for the hero image (LCP) and main CSS, non-blocking Google Fonts (preload + onload stylesheet swap with noscript fallback), and decoding="async" on below-the-fold images. Re-run the live PageSpeed test after deploy; scores vary by network and caching.

SEO — brand names and onefortheroadmap.co.uk on home pages

Expanded search-related metadata on the home page (index.html): canonical and Open Graph URLs now use https://onefortheroadmap.co.uk/wer1/ with the file path; added a keywords meta tag covering common spellings and phrases (such as “We Are All One”, “we are all 1”, “we are 1”); refined meta descriptions to name the official domain; and structured data (application/ld+json) now includes a WebSite entry with alternateName variants linked to the site URL. Search engines do not guarantee ranking for specific queries, but this clarifies the brand and preferred domain for indexing.

Topic pages — single “Back” control

At the bottom of each A–Z topic page (text and “with images”), the separate links for “Open this topic with images” and “Back to text-only …” were replaced by one Back button. It uses the browser’s history so you return to the page you came from (for example the helplist or another topic). The same pattern applies on the helplist page. Wired in js/a2z-back.js with styling in styles-index2.css; the topic page generator was updated to match.

Topic and helplist images — URLs refreshed

Replaced Unsplash links that no longer loaded for Education and History (hero and visual helplist tiles) so those images display again. Updated Money “with images” photography so the hero and sections match money and everyday spending, and verified each image URL returns successfully.

A–Z helplist — visual listing page

Added a visual helplist (hero and photo tile grid per topic), later rolled into the single a2zhelp.html. The visual home page (index.html) points to this hub.

Remembered choice — text or “with images” for topics (superseded)

Earlier experiment: topic links could remember a text vs “with images” preference. That behaviour was removed when each topic became a single page; js/a2z-back.js now only powers the Back button fallback described in newer entries.

Updates page

Added this page to list the launch date and a running summary of major additions and changes, so visitors can see how the site has grown after first publication.

Topic articles — text and “with images” versions

Expanded A–Z topics with full text articles and optional companion pages that include photographs. Each topic page uses a single control to switch between the text-only and image versions for that topic.

A–Z helplist and topic pages

Introduced the A–Z helplist hub (a2zhelp.html) and dedicated pages under a2z/ for community, compassion, education, environment, equality, forgiveness, health, history, money, peace, psychology, purpose, and religion — each linked from the helplist.

Navigation — edition switcher

On the main text and visual home pages, combined the “Text focus” and “With images” choices into one switchable button that jumps to the other edition. Extended similar behaviour for topic pages where applicable.

Site launch

First publication of One For The Roadmap: main home (index.html), contact page with support email, privacy and terms of use, redirect index.html, shared styling, and footer credits including first published date.
