What’s New on Gaggle of Nouns?

Welcome to the official update page for Gaggle of Nouns, where I share what’s new, what’s been improved, and what’s currently in the works for the website.

This is the place where you can:

  • See new animals, nouns, and illustrations being added
  • Follow along with website enhancements
  • Discover upcoming plans
  • Leave a comment or share what pages you’ve visited
  • Cheer me on as I build out this gigantic project one noun at a time

Thanks for being here, and for being part of the growing flock! Honestly, this was supposed to be a little “collective noun” site and somehow, like pretty much everything else I put my hands on, it becomes a significantly large project than initially planned.

This all looks very…. exact and technical? Yeah, well, I spent the better part of 10 years as a Systems Administrator (Network Manager, IT nerd, “the guy”, etc.) and I created far more technical manuals and documentation than I care to remember. It’s been years but I bet the last consulting firm I worked for is still pulling out my manuals (blood, sweat and tears.. the server document has all of those, literally!).

If you’re a writer, educator, or just someone who loves language, you can also [write for Gaggle of Nouns] and help grow the collection.

🆕 01/20/2026 – Page Refinements & Layout Experiments

Today was all about refinement.

I revisited and fully updated two pages using the newer Gaggle of Nouns layout system:

These pages now include improved structure, styled quick-answer sections, interactive quizzes, and expanded explanations designed to be both informative and fun.

I also made several small but important footer improvements to help with navigation and consistency across the site.

Later tonight, I’ll be adding a Webmaster page to document site changes, layout experiments, and ongoing improvements, because even a site about collective nouns deserves a proper changelog.

📅 01/19/2026 — New Page Layout + Major Animal Updates

I finally rolled out a brand-new page layout that I’ve been quietly tinkering with for a while and it turned out wickedly cool. The goal was to make pages cleaner, more readable, and a lot more fun to explore without feeling cluttered.

As part of this update, I refreshed several animal pages to use the new structure, including clearer sections, improved FAQs, and interactive quizzes.

Updated pages:

What’s new on these pages:

  • A consistent, modern layout across animals
  • Clear “quick answer” sections
  • Expanded explanations (scientific vs. poetic usage)
  • Cleaner, better-aligned FAQs
  • Interactive quizzes (still one of my favorite additions)

⚠️ Note: The jellyfish page will get one more pass soon to fully match the new template. It’s close, just not quite there yet, and I’m picky… picky, picky, picky. (momma would be so proud)

More animals will be updated as I continue rolling this layout out across the site.

  • Fixing Jellyfish (as mentioned above)
  • Rewriting Hummingbirds and making it pretty (I like what it says but it’s not pretty like the new stuff.. and by “I like what it says”, I mean.. I spent 2 days writing that so even if it just said the word Hum, hum, hummingbird, it would still be amazing to me).
  • Parrots (Polly want a cracker? Or maybe just a well-written article?)

📅 11/20/2025 — Charm Pages Updated

Today I updated the pages related to the collective noun “Charm”, and it turned out to be kind of fun. I may have dated my age a little by making a reference to the TV Show Charmed (I swear, I watched maybe 1 or 2 episodes, it was my wife the binge watched the entire series).

Updated: What Animals Form a Charm?

New images include:

A group of cartoon finches posing like tourists, with one wearing sunglasses and another holding a camera, drawn in a fun illustration style.
A playful gathering of finches posing for a group photo. A charming take on the collective noun for finches.
  • A pair of birds wearing lucky charms
  • A tourist-style group of finches taking a photo
  • A hummingbird barbershop quartet
  • A “Stay Charming!” sunset walk banner for the closing section

I also improved structure:

  • Expanded intro text
  • Added fun facts
  • Added FAQs
  • Added quizzes (seriously, one of the most fun additions that I’ve learned to create)
  • Added new navigation blocks

Next up: polishing the individual finch and hummingbird pages to match the new layout.

So much work, so little time, but absolutely worth it! (maybe.. if you never come back, well, not so much then) It took me more than 3 days to put the initial pages up but honestly, they are looking a bit rough, so God willing, I’ll update every single one of them (hundreds… ).

If you check out those pages, let me know what you think or which nouns you want next.

🐦 More Coming Soon

I’ll be updating this page regularly as new illustrations, pages, and animal entries roll out.
