On a point of order: I do know that, at least in a general sense. I'm not completely making this stuff up as I go along. :)

Well, let's not oversell it. In technical terms, adding a new page for whatever the new series would be called wouldn't be any harder than adding any of the other ones that have gone in since the website was designed. Easier, in fact, because I've done it quite recently and haven't had time to forget the tricks to it again, so I won't have to go and rediscover how it all works for the nth time like I did when I added the Legacy of Korra page. :)

There would be a good bit of grunt work involved in converting the stories themselves, since all their opening and closing titles would have to be adjusted and whatnot, and of course that would have the knock-on effect of requiring all their cites in the Chron Listing to be updated. Similarly, the opening and closing bits of all the audio version would have to be re-recorded, and the affected files re-uploaded (which reminds me that I still haven't fixed the directory structure for the rest of the recorded Symphony pieces - drgh, must do that soon). None of that is really challenging, just fiddly and time-consuming.

Well, like I say, the coding isn't really a big deal. The biggest design challenges are the graphics and, before they can be made, the sorting-out of nomenclature. I did a bit of brainstorming on that front last night. Nothing's decided yet, but I'm looking into it with some interest. In daylight, it still seems like a halfway decent idea, which is not something one can always say about one's late-night ideas. :)
