https://carlosarias.co/changelog/ What changed on Carlos Arias. en-US Sat, 26 Sep 2026 02:00:00 GMT https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-25-2200-front-door-for-ai-agents 01M3VRPVJWGZN4PB01VF6DD2ZA Sat, 26 Sep 2026 02:00:00 GMT Other people's AI assistants can now reach me on their behalf. A machine-readable contact endpoint — built on the open Agent2Agent (A2A) standard and discoverable at a well-known address — takes an inquiry and drops it into the same inbox as the website form. No form-filling, no account, and it never speaks for me: it only passes the message along. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-25-2030-sharper-cover-art-for-articles 01M3VRPVJXC2J2SPCXXSV376D7 Sat, 26 Sep 2026 00:30:00 GMT Article cover images are now made by a new, higher-quality image engine — the same hand-brushed ink style, rendered with more detail and more faithful to each piece. The switch also made the artwork far cheaper to produce, so every published article reliably gets its own cover. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-25-1906-phrase-monitor-add-a-phrase 01M3VRPVJYPH7P66JZYHQ08HBW Fri, 25 Sep 2026 23:06:00 GMT An Add keyword button at the top of the Phrase Monitor opens a short form with a list of every page on the site, so a phrase such as “marketing engineer” can be tied to the page that should be the answer. Pages that had never been tracked before can now be chosen too, where saving used to fail. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-22-1630-articles-shared-to-linkedin 01M3VRPVJZ4AHDCF2PCJXGW0VD Tue, 22 Sep 2026 20:30:00 GMT When an article is published it now posts to LinkedIn on its own — a proper post carrying the article's cover image, its headline and a short summary, with a link back to read the whole piece here. Connecting the account is a one-time step on the plugins screen, and sharing can be switched off there at any time without disconnecting. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-22-0900-reddit-monitor-latest-first 01M3VRPVK03K0CW3N401TFG1QY Tue, 22 Sep 2026 13:00:00 GMT The monitor now opens on the last day of discussions, newest first, rather than the whole backlog ordered by score — so what is current is obvious at a glance. Older threads move to an Archive a click away, and the ones the judge rated below the bar are filed under Not qualified, keeping the promising posts in front. Watched and shortlisted threads stay in view whatever their age. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-20-1412-text-no-longer-depends-on-javascript 01M3VRPVK11WZJAC2673FHZTDW Sun, 20 Sep 2026 18:12:00 GMT Copy that fades in as you scroll started out invisible and was revealed by a script — so with JavaScript switched off or failing, some of it never showed at all. It now falls back to visible when there is no script to run it. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-20-1410-faint-text-made-readable 01M3VRPVK3BK85GZW90NKEV8AT Sun, 20 Sep 2026 18:10:00 GMT Secondary text on the pale grey bands sat just under the contrast level the accessibility standard asks for — fine for most eyes, hard for low-vision readers and on a phone in sunlight. It has been darkened a touch so it clears the mark everywhere it appears, with no visible change to the design. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-20-1405-accessibility-check-like-a-lawyer 01M3VRPVK4TDDTZHBKWA0YCHC1 Sun, 20 Sep 2026 18:05:00 GMT Inaccessible websites are sued under the same disability law as buildings, and the usual fix — a bolt-on widget with a contrast button — does not touch the page and has itself drawn lawsuits. A new ADA Compliance screen under SEO checks the real code instead, ranking what it finds by legal exposure: images with no description, fields with no label, links with no text, and faint text come first. It filters the false alarms these tools are known for, so the number shown is worth acting on. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-20-1045-pages-can-be-added-from-the-admin 01M3VRPVK54TQ1XRVM2RDCKA4Z Sun, 20 Sep 2026 14:45:00 GMT New pages no longer need code. Adding one from the Pages screen gives it a real address straight away — either its own top-level URL or a spot inside an existing area — and every page on the site now appears in one list. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-19-1800-single-source-of-truth-page 01M3VRPVK6JR9RHBSGSNC6GSXD Sat, 19 Sep 2026 22:00:00 GMT One canonical page describing who Carlos is, what he does and the proof behind it — written so answer engines and journalists describe him the same way the site does. It reads from the same records the About, Résumé and Services pages use, so there is no second version of the facts to drift. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-18-1607-alt-text-nova-articles-screenshot 01M3VRPVK75AT6D1STJASFYQHD Fri, 18 Sep 2026 20:07:00 GMT A screenshot in the Nova project gallery showing the articles panel — the list of AI-drafted pieces with their status and scheduled dates — had an empty alt attribute and was invisible to screen readers. It now carries a description of what it shows. Website Designer Agent https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-18-1015-article-links-say-where-they-go 01M3VRPVK8FFWXZFY0ZJBSTMWK Fri, 18 Sep 2026 14:15:00 GMT The article cards on the home page linked out under a bare "Read more", which told a screen reader or a search engine nothing about the destination. Each of those links now names the article it opens. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-18-0815-watched-thread-claimed-reply-missing 01M3VRPVK9VF63J6RFR676C9TV Fri, 18 Sep 2026 12:15:00 GMT While a newly watched thread was still queued for its first check, the page reported that your reply was not visible — the same wording it uses when a reply has genuinely been removed. Not knowing yet and knowing something is wrong now read differently. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-18-0730-watching-reddit-threads-replied-to 01M3VRPVKAMF6QDKHKWGW6EW0Y Fri, 18 Sep 2026 11:30:00 GMT Marking a thread as watched keeps an eye on it afterwards and says plainly whether anyone has answered you — and whether your own reply is actually visible on the thread at all. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-17-2330-reddit-monitor 01M3VRPVKBVW7RMN9AG4MR8D12 Fri, 18 Sep 2026 03:30:00 GMT The site now watches chosen subreddits and surfaces the discussions worth reading — questions the audience is actually asking, and threads where there is something genuine to add while they are still live. Boards are chosen in the admin, each with its own keywords, and nothing is ever posted to Reddit automatically. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-16-1705-visitor-list-pages-twenty-at-a-time 01M3VRPVKCKS480Y9FRAH0R2Y5 Wed, 16 Sep 2026 21:05:00 GMT The list arrived showing a hundred arrivals at once and grew longer each time more were loaded. It now shows twenty at a time, fetched as you page through. Positions hold steady while you read: pages are anchored to the last visit shown rather than counted from the top, so a visitor arriving mid-read cannot shuffle someone onto a page you have already passed. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-16-1640-scanners-were-being-counted-as-visitors 01M3VRPVKDD6G1H6P69HM7YB1E Wed, 16 Sep 2026 20:40:00 GMT Roughly four visitors in five are machines, and a scanner that asks for the homepage with an ordinary Chrome badge looks exactly like a reader until it asks for a WordPress login page ninety seconds later. That giveaway was being thrown away. Anyone who probes for a way in now has their whole visit filed as what it was, which moved around 29,000 page views out of the human count. The visitor list shows people by default, and the machines are one click away rather than mixed in. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-16-1605-five-weeks-of-visitor-history-recovered 01M3VRPVKEVA6NGB6YJ6EG60Q7 Wed, 16 Sep 2026 20:05:00 GMT The new screen would have started from zero, which is no use for a message that arrived last month. The server's own logs still held five weeks of it, so they were read back in: around 107,000 page views since 10 August, with the location of each visitor worked out and visits reconstructed. Sessions from before this week are marked as such, since they are inferred from address and browser rather than recorded. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-16-1545-traffic-now-shows-who-visited 01M3VRPVKFFA2P8563NBJPXA91 Wed, 16 Sep 2026 19:45:00 GMT The Traffic screen could say how many people came but never who, so a spike was a number with no story behind it. It now lists arrivals — when someone came, roughly where from, how many pages they read and what referred them. Clicking an address opens their whole history: every visit, the page they landed on, the campaign that sent them, anything they searched for, and whether they ever wrote to you. Locations are worked out on this server, so no third party is told who is reading the site. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-16-1420-operator-console-never-appeared 01M3VRPVKG0JNPA78SN1JXX67T Wed, 16 Sep 2026 18:20:00 GMT The console that lets the site be edited from the front of the site itself was meant to show up once signed in to the admin, and never did. It only ever woke up for a browser that had been unlocked by hand with a special address, and nothing set that mark when signing in — so in practice it stayed hidden. Signing in now arms it and signing out puts it away. Visitors are unaffected either way: the console is still absent from the page entirely, and their browsers make no request looking for it. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-15-0910-records-what-visitors-search-for 01M3VRPVKH08VF2CQ7R8MTPMWD Tue, 15 Sep 2026 13:10:00 GMT The search box has always run entirely in the browser, which made it fast and meant nobody ever found out what people typed into it. Settled searches are now recorded — the query someone paused on, not every keystroke on the way to it. The list worth reading is the searches that returned nothing: each one is a visitor asking for something that has not been written yet. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-14-2310-crawl-faith 01M3VRPVKJSDP9VQM4BKHS6X22 Tue, 15 Sep 2026 03:10:00 GMT Google can quietly lose faith in a whole site without anything being broken, and no report says so. The clearest first-party symptom is how often its crawler bothers to come back, so the site now reads its own access log and compares the last seven days against the twenty-eight before them, for Googlebot, Bing and the AI crawlers. The Crawlers screen shows the trend; an email goes out only when Googlebot stalls or crawling falls hard, at most once a week. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-14-0940-password-can-be-changed-from-the-admin 01M3VRPVKKSDD37K50Z1CD8CG7 Mon, 14 Sep 2026 13:40:00 GMT Changing the console password meant opening a terminal on the server, which is the kind of chore that leaves a password unchanged for a year. There is now a Change Password screen under Settings. It asks for the current password even though you are already signed in, so a session left open on an unlocked laptop is not enough to take the account over, and it lists recent sign-ins with the failed attempts marked, which is the part worth reading. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-12-1915-real-artwork-on-every-article 01M3VRPVKMBT6YN7W6YVKQSQF8 Sat, 12 Sep 2026 23:15:00 GMT The covers are replaced, and one older piece that had been sitting on a title card since July has been picked up as well — it had been quietly skipped and nothing would have retried it. Every article now carries its own ink drawing, and each one is described properly for anyone using a screen reader. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-12-1735-search-engines-told-who-site-is-about 01M3VRPVKNANFZBDFVW02DZ7J8 Sat, 12 Sep 2026 21:35:00 GMT The homepage described a person, a business and a website separately, and none of the three said it had anything to do with the other two — so to a search engine they read as three unrelated things that happened to share a name. On a name as common as this one, that is the difference between being found and being one of many. The page now states plainly that it is about Carlos Arias, that the practice was founded by him, and that the social profiles belong to the same person. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-12-1720-checks-whether-articles-ranked 01M3VRPVKPFRVY2RD33XXZB9B8 Sat, 12 Sep 2026 21:20:00 GMT Every SEO check here ran before an article was published — the writer graded it, a second AI reviewed it, the crawler tested the page. Nothing asked what happened next. A new SEO Analyst reads the real search data daily and files what is worth acting on: searches this site sits just off the first page for, pages that rank but win no clicks, pages losing the traffic they had, and pages competing with each other. Each finding shows the numbers behind it, under SEO → Findings. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-12-1710-five-articles-placeholder-cover-images 01M3VRPVKQC2HPVZG7H6X7FTWK Sat, 12 Sep 2026 21:10:00 GMT The five new law firm guides went live carrying plain title cards instead of artwork. The system that replaces them runs on a timer and had been failing silently for some time. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-12-1705-four-more-guides-for-law-firms 01M3VRPVKRGT6Z1EZ5F9BYYCVE Sat, 12 Sep 2026 21:05:00 GMT Alongside the main guide: SEO for law firms in 2026, a website conversion checklist, why leads die after the click, and an honest comparison of hiring an agency against hiring one senior person. Each links back to the main guide and to the service it relates to. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-12-1658-intake-and-automation-own-service 01M3VRPVKSFDHJRR9S2JWVFY29 Sat, 12 Sep 2026 20:58:00 GMT The site could explain search, websites and AI search, but the part that decides whether a lead becomes a client — who answers, what happens after hours, how many times anyone follows up — was only ever a link to a paragraph elsewhere. It now has its own page covering routing, after-hours cover, follow-up and attribution, including what will not be sold: a chatbot is not an intake strategy. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-12-1652-guide-how-law-firm-marketing-works 01M3VRPVKTFF8AB4BFMCN3NG4T Sat, 12 Sep 2026 20:52:00 GMT A long piece setting out the whole path from someone searching to a case being signed — search, local, paid, the website, intake, and how to measure any of it — including a ninety-day plan and the parts most firms lose cases on after they have already paid for the lead. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-12-1635-seven-articles-filed-under-missing-sections 01M3VRPVKV2ZQ5DTFW6ZGD52NR Sat, 12 Sep 2026 20:35:00 GMT Several recent pieces — the Local Services Ads billing change, the programmatic SEO warning, the live chat comparison — were filed under section names the site had no pages for. The articles were readable, but they appeared in no section listing and their trail read "Home, Archive, article" with the middle step missing. They are now filed under Law Firm Marketing, Web Development and Digital Marketing, and the old addresses redirect. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-12-1631-menu-item-that-led-nowhere 01M3VRPVKWR2F6YJA5H20KN9RE Sat, 12 Sep 2026 20:31:00 GMT Branding & Design sat in the Services menu on every page with no page behind it. It has been taken out until there is something to point it at. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-12-1630-faq-page-showed-template-text 01M3VRPVKXS4SB59SWZH5CFVJ0 Sat, 12 Sep 2026 20:30:00 GMT Every answer on the FAQ page read "Replace this with a short description of what your site covers" — the page had gone live without ever being written, and search engines were being handed those three placeholder questions as structured data. It now answers twelve real ones: what digital marketing for law firms actually is, how long SEO takes, what it costs, when to hire an agency instead, and why nobody can guarantee page one. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-12-1228-alt-text-nova-agent-scheduler-screenshot 01M3VRPVKYEW0YFR5KZCMG4P3C Sat, 12 Sep 2026 16:28:00 GMT A screenshot in the Nova project gallery showing the agent scheduler — Content Writer, QA crawl, Reconciler, Editorial Researcher and others each running on their own interval — had an empty alt attribute and was invisible to screen readers. It now carries a description of what it shows. Website Designer Agent https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-12-1155-spam-cleared-out-of-contact-inbox 01M3VRPVKZ3YPD6B6REY8F20PE Sat, 12 Sep 2026 15:55:00 GMT The inbox could collect spam but never empty it, and an automated check that the spam filter still works was leaving about two dozen entries a day behind it. There is now a button that deletes them in one go, showing the count first so it is clear what is about to go. It only touches messages already marked as spam, and nothing is ever deleted automatically. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-12-1123-links-to-missing-or-moved-pages 01M3VRPVM0NDDC5ZNXZG2KJDTY Sat, 12 Sep 2026 15:23:00 GMT Some links inside articles still used the old address format from before posts moved under their categories, and two of them led nowhere at all. They now point at the right pages. The privacy and terms pages were also missing from the site map that search engines read, and every internal link to an article now goes straight to its final address instead of being redirected on the way. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-12-1113-tags-on-articles-now-lead-somewhere 01M3VRPVM1FGQAA7FF3NF85JT4 Sat, 12 Sep 2026 15:13:00 GMT Every article listed its tags, but the pages behind them had never been built — so all 97 of those links led to a page that did not exist. Tags used on two or more articles now have a page listing everything filed under them. A tag used only once still shows on the article; it is simply not a link, because a page listing one piece is not worth arriving at. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-11-1500-nova-case-study 01M3VRPVM2BRNJT90MTH01ES36 Fri, 11 Sep 2026 19:00:00 GMT The projects list led to a page with a heading and nothing under it. It now runs the whole story — why it was built, the agents that do the work and what each one handles, how it learns a business, and screenshots of the sites it operates. The agent team and the memory it builds are drawn as diagrams rather than described in paragraphs. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-11-1330-footer-service-links-led-nowhere-useful 01M3VRPVM3CFF8J0NC4AFW0DE7 Fri, 11 Sep 2026 17:30:00 GMT Three links in the footer pointed at sections of the Services page that no longer existed, so they all landed at the top of it. They now go straight to the service pages they name. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-11-1320-services-page-is-now-a-real-page 01M3VRPVM4A46H62XMV2C4HP0D Fri, 11 Sep 2026 17:20:00 GMT Services was an empty shell that listed nothing. It now opens with what a firm is actually buying, sets out the five services with what each one covers, says plainly which law firms the work is for and which firms it is not for, and matches a problem to the service that solves it. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-10-2026-services-page-title-optimised-for-search 01M3VRPVM5YADXW7MNS43ZQDG9 Fri, 11 Sep 2026 00:26:00 GMT The title was "Services | Carlos Arias" — too short for search engines to index well. It now reads "Digital Marketing & AI Automation for Law Firms | Carlos Arias", which names both the audience and the work. Website Designer Agent https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-10-2023-project-links-added-to-the-footer 01M3VRPVM6GKMJGTQPT3MDREHB Fri, 11 Sep 2026 00:23:00 GMT Snoopi.io, Medellin.co and Crawllr now appear directly in the footer under My Projects, alongside the existing link to the full list — so each project is reachable from every page on the site. Website Designer Agent https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-10-1805-pick-existing-image-for-a-project 01M3VRPVM7XF44WBF53B2Q8YNX Thu, 10 Sep 2026 22:05:00 GMT Project galleries only offered a file upload, so a picture already in the media library had to be uploaded a second time. Every image slot now has a Choose button that reuses the file already on the server. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-10-1255-phrase-monitor 01M3VRPVM8KT3Y79QZEFFVEPAB Thu, 10 Sep 2026 16:55:00 GMT A new admin screen watches a set of phrases across Google, its AI answers, and ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, recording what each one says word for word. A reading that was never taken is shown as “no reading” rather than a zero, so an absent measurement is never mistaken for a result. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-10-1240-song-addresses-now-redirect 01M3VRPVM996B0GDESBR9JW9T7 Thu, 10 Sep 2026 16:40:00 GMT Honey Honey Sweet Bunny moved twice while it was being built, and the old links had been left dead. All three now lead to the song, which matters because anything that cited an earlier address still resolves. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-09-1730-services-menu-trimmed 01M3VRPVMABBWGN56C8VHG1120 Wed, 09 Sep 2026 21:30:00 GMT Digital Marketing came off the list — it is the SEO, local search and paid items around it rather than a separate service. Automation and Fractional CTO were parked pending a rewrite, and Graphic Design is now Branding & Design. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-09-1420-image-prompt-link-under-article-covers 01M3VRPVMBGBD12NSCXS7MFEKK Wed, 09 Sep 2026 18:20:00 GMT Every article carried a “View image prompt” link that revealed the exact wording used to generate its cover art. That belongs in the admin, not on the page, so it has been taken off the public site. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-09-1350-links-inside-articles-are-visible-again 01M3VRPVMCP90QBMG7NR0NXE12 Wed, 09 Sep 2026 17:50:00 GMT Links in the body of an article were being drawn in exactly the same colour as the text around them, so the only way to find one was to hover over it. They now carry the red seal colour, and the shade was darkened slightly so it stays readable on every background. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-09-1115-seo-local-seo-ai-search-top-level 01M3VRPVMDYZEM7Y0WGK8CPMNA Wed, 09 Sep 2026 15:15:00 GMT They were filed under Law Firm Marketing. All three now sit in the Services menu, where they are easier to find, and their old addresses redirect so nothing breaks. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-08-1720-ai-search-optimization-page 01M3VRPVMEDJ7PPXY0APS02TDR Tue, 08 Sep 2026 21:20:00 GMT How a firm gets found, cited and correctly described by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI answers — including a plain list of what cannot be promised. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-08-1210-local-seo-page-for-law-firms 01M3VRPVMFGX88EAA4P929GDQ7 Tue, 08 Sep 2026 16:10:00 GMT A page on winning the map pack and the calls that follow it — what local SEO actually involves, why it differs by practice area, and where firms lose the cases they have already paid to generate. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-08-1100-honey-honey-sweet-bunny-page 01M3VRPVMG4QET37MT5MS1066S Tue, 08 Sep 2026 15:00:00 GMT A new page for an original song, with the full lyrics, the recording in an animated player, a storybook illustration, and a shareable preview card. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-07-1740-years-of-experience-stated-consistently 01M3VRPVMHH8KVCFABRAFPFSZ5 Mon, 07 Sep 2026 21:40:00 GMT A few older pages still described the experience as "20+ years" or "two decades". Every reference across the site now reads 25 years, matching the about and resume pages. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-07-1725-illustrated-hero-immigration-page 01M3VRPVMJSPEXW6S1B4VJ55EE Mon, 07 Sep 2026 21:25:00 GMT The immigration-lawyer marketing page now leads with a sumi-e ink illustration — an enso ring framing a departure skyline, a flight path and the Statue of Liberty gateway of arrival — set behind a first-inquiry-to-signed-engagement process, in the same style as the personal-injury page. Carlos Arias https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-07-1120-personal-injury-page-is-fully-designed 01M3VRPVMKT6PGHG7ANGEWYCCF Mon, 07 Sep 2026 15:20:00 GMT The practice-area page for personal-injury firms now has an illustrated sumi-e hero, the case-acquisition argument shown as comparisons and a step-by-step process, a real before/after result, and an FAQ, laid out to show rather than tell. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-07-0900-resume-content-refreshed 01M3VRPVMM82AKY9A2T4F45ZPB Mon, 07 Sep 2026 13:00:00 GMT The experience, projects, skills and certifications were brought up to date with the current resume. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-06-2220-resume-download-always-pulls-the-latest 01M3VRPVMN16W4ZTWGXB8NHDE2 Mon, 07 Sep 2026 02:20:00 GMT The download now produces a live PDF from a single source document, so it stays current without re-uploading a file. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-05-1305-personal-injury-lawyer-marketing-page 01M3VRPVMPQHT7W8Y0NVQHY9SX Sat, 05 Sep 2026 17:05:00 GMT A dedicated page on marketing for personal-injury firms, the first of the practice-area pages under Law Firm Marketing. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-05-1237-broken-nav-link-to-medical-malpractice 01M3VRPVMQXPSG6C9YDSK5M3AY Sat, 05 Sep 2026 16:37:00 GMT The Law Firm Marketing menu linked to a Medical Malpractice practice-area page that does not yet exist, returning a 404. The link is now a placeholder until the page is published. Website Designer Agent https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-05-1235-broken-nav-link-to-mass-tort 01M3VRPVMRNHV8N0FMW2TP4XMP Sat, 05 Sep 2026 16:35:00 GMT The Law Firm Marketing menu linked to a Mass Tort practice-area page that does not yet exist, returning a 404. The link is now a placeholder until the page is published. Website Designer Agent https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-05-1234-broken-nav-link-to-business-litigation 01M3VRPVMS5YTFJJF0401N89Y6 Sat, 05 Sep 2026 16:34:00 GMT The Law Firm Marketing menu linked to a Business Litigation practice-area page that does not yet exist, returning a 404. The link is now a placeholder until the page is published. Website Designer Agent https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-05-1233-broken-nav-link-eb-5-immigration 01M3VRPVMTE5HMHVW6RS2Y06MG Sat, 05 Sep 2026 16:33:00 GMT The Law Firm Marketing menu linked to an EB-5 practice-area page that does not yet exist, returning a 404. The link is now a placeholder until the page is published. Website Designer Agent https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-05-1231-broken-nav-link-to-personal-injury 01M3VRPVMVQC3TDTV1TZNA8V8W Sat, 05 Sep 2026 16:31:00 GMT The Law Firm Marketing menu had a link to a practice-area page that did not yet exist, returning a 404. The link is now a placeholder until the page is published. Website Designer Agent https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-05-1215-menu-dropdown-arrows-visible 01M3VRPVMWWVYYXPZQTQT2NJB6 Sat, 05 Sep 2026 16:15:00 GMT The dropdown arrows in the navigation were hard to see on the light header. They now match the menu text, so they show in both light and dark. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-05-1130-navigation-around-law-firm-marketing 01M3VRPVMXAEYTC7ZQW8NNBSRX Sat, 05 Sep 2026 15:30:00 GMT Law Firm Marketing became its own section at /law-firm-marketing with a dropdown of practice areas, and Services now groups the broader skill set. The writing moved out of the top navigation. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-05-1045-blog-categories-authors-moved 01M3VRPVMY18ECKH0WG143RCJM Sat, 05 Sep 2026 14:45:00 GMT Category and author pages now live under /blog, and the old addresses redirect there, so existing links and bookmarks keep working. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-04-1445-editing-console-off-public-pages 01M3VRPVMZY2H4KQFTKJZ53FQA Fri, 04 Sep 2026 18:45:00 GMT The in-site editing console used to be present (hidden) in the markup of every page. It has been taken out of what visitors receive and now loads only once a signed-in operator is confirmed. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-04-1440-clearer-information-for-search-engines 01M3VRPVN0A7V4GCZHM7J37C1Y Fri, 04 Sep 2026 18:40:00 GMT The homepage now describes the site and the business alongside the person, using linked structured data, so search results have more to work with. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-04-1435-one-canonical-address-per-page 01M3VRPVN10KQ1216TBQP5PB5X Fri, 04 Sep 2026 18:35:00 GMT Search engines were being shown a page address that then redirected. Each page now points them at its final trailing-slash address, and the sitemap matches, so there is a single canonical URL per page. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-04-1430-old-wordpress-links-redirect 01M3VRPVN21GE772ZSTVEANCHK Fri, 04 Sep 2026 18:30:00 GMT Addresses from the previous version of the site — a handful of old agency and SEO articles that search engines still list — now forward to the right article or section, rather than landing on a "page not found". Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-04-1015-flagged-contact-messages-are-kept 01M3VRPVN34NYR3G54J15C1BN8 Fri, 04 Sep 2026 14:15:00 GMT Anything the spam filter catches is now saved and marked as spam in the admin, with the reason shown, rather than discarded — so a wrongly flagged enquiry can be spotted and recovered. Genuine messages are unaffected and still arrive by email. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-04-1012-contact-messages-silently-discarded 01M3VRPVN4GN4CEQ3H57F4WMW3 Fri, 04 Sep 2026 14:12:00 GMT The contact form’s spam filter could catch a genuine message — for instance when a browser autofilled one of its hidden anti-spam fields — and drop it with no record and no notification, so a real enquiry could be lost without a trace. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-03-1600-park-a-blog-idea-as-a-draft 01M3VRPVN5RRMEGVGNVVV1FXB5 Thu, 03 Sep 2026 20:00:00 GMT The blog admin can now hold an article idea — a title and whatever notes you have so far — without putting it on the schedule. It sits as a draft until you come back to it, and can be edited, then scheduled or taken off the list at any time. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-03-1350-homepage-line-turning-data-into-cases 01M3VRPVN68FN90EM1P2ZNPP21 Thu, 03 Sep 2026 17:50:00 GMT The opening of the site now leads on the outcome that matters: turning a firm's data into signed cases, rather than the clicks and rankings that do not pay for themselves. The headline and the text beneath it were rewritten around it. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-03-1115-resume-matches-the-new-title 01M3VRPVN79BWV7S22A9BQSNC0 Thu, 03 Sep 2026 15:15:00 GMT It now leads with Marketing Engineer, with a rewritten summary and current role. The list of past job titles is unchanged, since those are what they were at the time. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-03-1110-about-page-tells-the-real-story 01M3VRPVN85MDP7D7AP9K51TCH Thu, 03 Sep 2026 15:10:00 GMT It used to open on autonomous AI agents, which is where my attention sat for a while. It now follows the thread that actually runs through twenty-five years of work — marketing and technology as pieces of one system — and why Marketing Engineer is the name for it. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-03-1105-clearer-name-marketing-engineer 01M3VRPVN9C54TTTGJA713HNWD Thu, 03 Sep 2026 15:05:00 GMT The site now introduces me as a Marketing Engineer: someone who works across marketing, software, data, automation and AI as one system, rather than a specialist in any single piece. "Digital marketing for law firms" stays as the plain description of who I help. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-02-1547-png-uploads-work 01M3VRPVNAPA137DVSG7CZ3Y0B Wed, 02 Sep 2026 19:47:00 GMT The conversion now handles every kind of PNG, transparency is kept, and an upload that produces an empty file is reported as an error instead of passing silently. The accepted file types are listed under the upload button. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-02-1540-png-images-uploaded-as-empty-files 01M3VRPVNBAJG0ANZXVSV6EKYA Wed, 02 Sep 2026 19:40:00 GMT A PNG attached in the admin came back as a broken image. The conversion step could not handle the most common kind of PNG and wrote a file with nothing in it, while reporting success, so nothing anywhere said it had failed. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-02-1535-every-article-shows-its-author-again 01M3VRPVNC1ZC9MKSBZ5BSK7YX Wed, 02 Sep 2026 19:35:00 GMT All twenty-five posts carry the byline, and the author page lists the full set. The portrait it points at was also missing from the server, so it has been added. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-02-1533-articles-not-showing-who-wrote-them 01M3VRPVNDC3G135YP3W87Y0D1 Wed, 02 Sep 2026 19:33:00 GMT Posts named their author with a value that did not match the site's author record, so the name, photo and link were missing from twenty-four of twenty-five articles, and the author page listed one piece instead of all of them. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-02-1520-articles-now-live-under-their-category 01M3VRPVNE1ZAPYDW427ZXCPXW Wed, 02 Sep 2026 19:20:00 GMT A post is at /blog/law-firm-marketing/... rather than /blog/... so the address says what the piece is about. Every old link redirects to the new one. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-02-1514-article-on-what-agencies-deliver 01M3VRPVNFF65VTS8R5017C48T Wed, 02 Sep 2026 19:14:00 GMT Twenty-five years on both sides of the table, and the six questions worth asking before hiring anyone. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-02-1512-pull-quotes-stand-out-properly 01M3VRPVNG772ZW64J6DYJNE86 Wed, 02 Sep 2026 19:12:00 GMT A quoted line now sits in its own panel with a red quote mark, instead of grey italics that made the strongest sentence on the page quieter than the text around it. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-02-1500-chart-of-who-is-reading 01M3VRPVNH9BZ5XVTVQQWF6Y9X Wed, 02 Sep 2026 19:00:00 GMT The SEO overview now plots people against AI crawlers day by day. Over the last four weeks that is about four human visits for every one from a crawler reading the site on a model's behalf. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-02-1457-every-page-published-as-plain-text 01M3VRPVNJWQZ37VQXYHHPRW74 Wed, 02 Sep 2026 18:57:00 GMT Alongside each page there is a markdown copy carrying just the content, with no menus or footers. Assistants and search tools that read the site get the words without having to pick them out of the layout. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-02-1400-city-service-pages 01M3VRPVNKXMEX1JHHPKVPEZ4B Wed, 02 Sep 2026 18:00:00 GMT Seventeen pages pairing a service with a Florida city, plus the two index pages that existed only to list them. They were a test of automated page building and in two months drew 17 views and no clicks between them. Every address redirects to the service it belonged to. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-01-2105-project-cover-images-can-be-set 01M3VRPVNMJHFE1KQME7CJPG8P Wed, 02 Sep 2026 01:05:00 GMT A cover box was added to the project editor, with alt text for screen readers, and saving no longer clears it. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-01-2100-no-project-could-have-a-cover-image 01M3VRPVNNQZTBJRAQDZ92ATTX Wed, 02 Sep 2026 01:00:00 GMT The projects list showed a dashed placeholder for every project. There was no box to set a cover, and the editor wrote an empty value on every save, so a cover set any other way was wiped the next time the project was touched. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-01-2005-project-links-survive-a-save 01M3VRPVNPMXTK1SPXB08W9CD8 Wed, 02 Sep 2026 00:05:00 GMT Links are merged rather than rebuilt, so a field the editor does not show is left alone, and the live site and code addresses now have their own boxes. The lost address was restored. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-01-2000-project-editor-was-erasing-links 01M3VRPVNQTBGZ5469NCDMBTFP Wed, 02 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT The editor rebuilt a project's links from only the fields it had on screen, so the live site address and the code link were quietly deleted on every save. Medellin.co lost its website address this way. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-01-1515-proper-viewer-for-project-screenshots 01M3VRPVNRBXRV86AA64BNP8T6 Tue, 01 Sep 2026 19:15:00 GMT Clicking a screenshot now opens a real viewer with next and previous, swipe, zoom and thumbnails. The old one could show a single image and nothing else, so seeing the third of four meant closing and reopening it. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-01-1211-changelog-builds-again 01M3VRPVNS83D7RAZ1XMSZ14Y1 Tue, 01 Sep 2026 16:11:00 GMT The stray apostrophe was escaped. Every entry on this page loads from one file, so a single typo in it takes the whole page down — worth knowing for next time. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-01-1210-changelog-could-not-be-rebuilt 01M3VRPVNT81X5XZYMZ2KHCR6W Tue, 01 Sep 2026 16:10:00 GMT An apostrophe in an entry written by the design agent was left unescaped, which stopped the script that loads this page from running at all. Nothing new could be published here until it was fixed. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-01-1203-industry-and-platform-on-a-project 01M3VRPVNVC1HCWME54TG3VQYR Tue, 01 Sep 2026 16:03:00 GMT Two details that were being stored but could not be edited anywhere. They now appear in the project editor and under the title on the page. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-01-1202-projects-can-be-taken-off-the-site 01M3VRPVNWNFG4ADGYNEW1Z2X7 Tue, 01 Sep 2026 16:02:00 GMT Removing a project, or putting it back, previously had to be done in the database by hand. There is now a published tick box in the project editor. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-01-1201-instagram-reels-can-be-attached 01M3VRPVNX9RAY6YEM86XPW4XM Tue, 01 Sep 2026 16:01:00 GMT The reel and the profile are now separate fields, since a case study plays one and links to the other. Anything already entered still works. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-01-1200-instagram-reel-field-never-did-anything 01M3VRPVNYVZ4Q62GWP1M4ZZ74 Tue, 01 Sep 2026 16:00:00 GMT The project editor had a box for a reel URL, but what it saved was not what the page looked for, and the address was discarded before it was stored. Anything entered there would silently never have appeared. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-01-1150-project-fact-table 01M3VRPVNZTB88PASCETX627SH Tue, 01 Sep 2026 15:50:00 GMT Type, industry, timeline and role were set out as a table, which read like a database record rather than an introduction. The same details now run as a single quiet line under the title. Site Owner https://carlosarias.co/changelog/#2026-09-01-1148-project-video-moved-to-the-top 01M3VRPVP0Z0AB3SSY3D67DCY0 Tue, 01 Sep 2026 15:48:00 GMT The space for a clip talking through each project used to sit beside the fourth paragraph. It now opens the page, so a project starts with a person rather than with a specification. Site Owner
