-In the early aughts, I created a website for the _Landscape Architecture Film Series_, a student-led initiative which I co-founded and co-curated for the [Department of Landscape Architecture](https://landarch.illinois.edu/) at the University of Illinois Urbana/Champaign.
+In the early aughts, I created a website for the _Landscape Architecture Film Series_, a student-led initiative which I co-founded and co-curated for the [Department of Landscape Architecture](https://landarch.illinois.edu/) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
 
 Now some odd years later, I needed a website to use as a learning vehicle for back-end technical skill-building. But not wanting to spend anytime to ideate and design a new one from scratch, I turned to my old website. Its look and feel has aged well, I think, and indeed looks remarkably contemporary. For instance, if the current version of MoMA's film series [website](https://www.moma.org/calendar/film/) is anything to go by, bold color blocking isn't a dated design choice. In other words, I could focus on the back-end and spend little or no time on the front-end.

 ### Configuration
 
-1. **Create an `.env` file**
-
-    Place the file in the root directory and add the following as default:
-
-    ```python
-    # Database Path
-    DATABASE_NAME='data/lafs.db'
-
-    # Database Connection Pool
-    POOL_SIZE=5
-    MAX_OVERFLOW=10
-    POOL_TIMEOUT=30
-    POOL_RECYCLE=-1
-    ECHO=False
-
-    # Database Retry Settings
-    MAX_RETRIES=3
-    BASE_DELAY=1
-    MAX_DELAY=10
-
-    # Flask Secret Key
-    SECRET_KEY='your_flask_secret_key'
-
-    # Google Maps API Key
-    MAP_API_KEY='your_map_api_key'
-    ```
-
-2. **Database**
-
-    ```python
-    # Database Path
-    DATABASE_NAME='data/lafs.db'  # Path to SQLite database file
-
-    # Database Connection Pool
-    POOL_SIZE=15   # Max number of persistent connections
-    MAX_OVERFLOW=5  # Max number of connections above POOL_SIZE
-    POOL_TIMEOUT=30  # Seconds to wait for available connection
-    POOL_RECYCLE=1800  # Seconds before connection is recycled
-    ECHO=False  # Enable SQLAlchemy engine logging
-
-    # Database Retry Settings
-    MAX_RETRIES=3  #  Max retry attempts for failed operations
-    BASE_DELAY=1  # Initial delay between retries in seconds
-    MAX_DELAY=10  # Max delay between retries in seconds
-    ```
-
-3. **Flask Secret Key**
-
-    ```python
-    # Flask Secret Key
-    SECRET_KEY='your_flask_secret_key'
-    ```
-
-4. **Google Maps API Key**
-
-    ```python
-    # Google Maps API Key
-    MAP_API_KEY='your_map_api_key'
-    ```
-
-    An API Key is needed for the embedded map to work. Before you can create one, you will need to create a Google Cloud project, for which you need a Google Cloud account.
