 # changelog
 
+### Monday, 07/11/2016
+- Added final touches to the html validator and updating the rest of the branch
+- If anyone finds issues with the new HTML validator, please let me know. I hope this will bring a more consistent feel to Homebrewery rendering.
+
+### Friday, 09/09/2016 - v2.4.0
+- Adding in a HTML validator that will display warnings whenever you save. This should stop a lot of the issues generated with pages not showing up.
+
 ### Saturday, 20/08/2016 - v2.3.0
 - Added in a license file
 - Updated the welcome text

 ### Images
-Images can be included 'inline' with the text using Markdown-style images. However for background images more control is needed.
+Images must be hosted online somewhere, like imgur. You use the address to that image to reference it in your brew. Images can be included 'inline' with the text using Markdown-style images. However for background images more control is needed.
 
 Background images should be included as HTML-style img tags. Using inline CSS you can precisely position your image where you'd like it to be. I have added both a inflow image snippet and a background image snippet to give you exmaples of how to do it.
