A few months of intermittent work and here we are - at Version 2! Hoo-ray! Doesn't look
that much different, does it? Well if you looked "under the hood" at the code, you'd see
there's been a complete overhaul in the design, but I won't bore you with that...The biggest change you'll notice is the Search facility (the simple feature that
necessitated a complete code rewrite!) now you can type in words in a text box, click
a button and hopefully get results that you find useful - at least now the site's left
the proverbial Stone Age and entered the Iron Age in terms of design with the "simple"
addition of a Search facility...take a peek at the About section - there's a page that
documents the search "engine" there...The Add and Edit pages registered users have access to when editing content - that's
been integrated into the general design of the site - cosmetic and functional....If you have a look at the Glossary and TV Shows sections, you'll notice that the
sections have been ordered alphabetically - a new feature of the site allows for the
existence of "ordered sections" that automatically order the pages by title in the order
specified....thanks for the submissions so far, folks...Registration has changed as well - we no longer ask registrants for a secret question
and answer - how pointless is that feature! Now, if you've forgotten your password, all
that is asked of you is your username and the email address you provided at registration
- your details will be mailed to you. There's also an account activation step -
that should help deter autoregistration....NOTE: Since the site is now generated with brand new code, there's bound to be MILLIONS
of bugs, some innocuous, some nasty - if you come across one, do be a good sport and
report it to us....Thanks!
