Upgrade to SSL site and addition of user accounts

Release 3.0.0

Although this update does not bring any interesting interface or search engine changes, it nevertheless is a pretty major milestone for the site as a whole as it involves a transition to the secure https protocol as well as the introduction of user logins.

In order to use the most secure login tools, it was necessary to migrate the site to use the ASP.NET Core framework. Once this migration was finished, two login processes were created: 1) The process to allow the user to log in with an account specifically for the site. 2) The process to allow the user to use open authentication to log in with a Google account. The hope is that this flexibility will allow the user to log in in his or her preferred manner.

I am excited about the doors that having user logins will open such as personalized stored pathways and the ability to interact with other site users!
