Top Content pages have been fully redesigned into a curated multi‑section editorial system. Instead of displaying all content types on a single overwhelming archive page, the new structure now uses dynamic section navigation powered by URL views (?view=), allowing visitors to browse Narrative Threads, Narrative Episodes, Images, Lyrics, Excerpts, and Quotes individually. The system defaults to Narrative Threads while providing clear top‑level navigation between curated content categories. Navigation styling, active‑state highlighting, spacing, typography, and vertical rhythm were all refined to create a more compact, readable, and intentional browsing experience across desktop and mobile devices.
Narrative Threads (chapters) and Narrative Episodes (fragments) were elevated into visual editorial sections using large featured‑image cards similar to cover blocks, helping important longform narrative content surface more effectively throughout the site. Lyrics, Excerpts, and Quotes were also redesigned to remove repetitive generic labels in favor of direct clickable post titles, creating a cleaner presentation and stronger content identity. All sections now sort alphabetically and support significantly larger curated limits, making the system scalable for future expansion without major architectural changes.
A new curated Images section was also integrated into the Top Content framework using a dedicated responsive square‑grid layout based on the site’s existing image gallery system. The image implementation preserves uniformity across mixed aspect ratios using object-fit: cover and scalable CSS grid controls while allowing larger editorial presentation than the standard gallery archive. Footer navigation was expanded to include direct links to the full Narrative Threads, Narrative Episodes, Lyrics, Excerpts, and Quotes archive pages, further improving discoverability and longform navigation throughout the site.
