	Due to multiple uploads being a bit buggy, the default upload has been changed back to the single file upload page. If you want to use the multiple upload, you can access it from the special pages. This was done to make it easier to tell when you will overwrite an existing image with an uploaded one.

	Because [[User:Vzing\|Vzing]] and [[User:PantheonSasuke\|PantheonSasuke]] have been doing such a great job of moving images, our site map was getting errors due to missing files. It has now been updated to reflect the lastest updates to the wiki. Google should be indexing all of the updated file names in the next day or so.

	I wrote an open source alchemy search tool for [[Dragon Quest IX]]. You can access it [http://dragon-quest.org/alchemy.html here]. It is useful for figuring out what you need to make something specific. It also includes the locations where you can find ingredients rather than relying on alchemy to make them all.

	=== Image Search Indexing ===		=== Image Search Indexing ===
	The directory structure of the wiki has been updated to allow bots/spiders to access images. Prior to this, only article/text content has been indexed by sites like Google. The changes will not be immediate, but over time you should be able to do a google image search and find images which have been uploaded to the wiki. Hopefully, this will improve visibility for the site. If you have Dragon Quest related images which are not yet on the wiki, please upload them! Also, any images found on the Dragon's Den which are useful in wiki articles should be uploaded as well. When possible, upload PNG files which feature transparent backgrounds. This makes images much more reusable in various articles on the wiki.		The directory structure of the wiki has been updated to allow bots/spiders to access images.

	The main page (the one you are likely viewing) has received an overall redesign. New features include a poll question, featured image, improved news RSS feeds, and better use of space. It should look good in any screen resolution down to 1024x768. Hopefully this will attract more users to look around and visit some articles.
