What's new

Introducing The Academic Gallery. It's a website where you can discover academic websites by PhD students, faculty, researchers, and scientists.

If you have an Owlstown website, your website is already in the gallery. If not, let me know. Make sure your site has at least your name, contact info, and a short bio. +1 for a site avatar and project descriptions.

You can now set the alignment of several blocks (text block, Markdown, and callouts). I also updated the menu UI across all blocks.

You can now add mathematical equations into your text using LaTeX math format. More details
