| Updated: |
Some
of the underlying HTML coding for the entire web site,
finally taking advantage of a bit of CSS methodology to, hopefully,
ensure that each page of the site is being displayed to all viewers
with the same appearance that
I've always intended. This does not
change the format and layout of the site and most returning visitors
should see few differences. However, some visitors may
notice changes in the text fonts, particularly in the menu. (NOTE:
Because I've applied changes to all 961 pages of this site, it's
probably inevitable that I've screwed something up. Please let me know
if you run across any anomalies.) |
| Merged: |
The Birds
category into the Miscellany -
Numbered series (a long overdue consolidation). |
| Replaced: |
One

| Moved: |
The
two "Counter" cards that had
previously
been classified separately as "Pre-1870", into other categories that I
think may be more appropriate, one into "Artistic" and the other into
"Religious". I've dropped the "Pre-1870" designation. |
