Site Updates

October 22, 2001

In the last two months there has been a bit of cosmetic work on the site, and some more articles were released. We have just completed a major overhaul of the sites code. We are about 90 percent of the way to moving the code over to XHTML 1.0, the next version of HTML. For users that use a recently released browser the site will look the same, individuals still using Netscape 4 will have extra spacing but the content will render correctly. The code has been shrunk down, which will provide for shorter page loads. Newer articles now have larger and higher resolution images. We added support for the Site Navigation Bar that was added to Mozilla beginning with version 0.9.5, this feature allows users quick access to all parts of the site and allows for navigating the site without having to understand the intricacies of the site.
