Site revision record

NOTE: I no longer update this page when all I've done is add to the text archives. The "Archives updated through" date on the front page should always have date of the most recent posts.

Aug 2007: With the end of AAE9 the saga of the CAoL may be over, but I gave the site an overhaul to make sure all the code validates.

Apr 2006: Added "hosted by" links to most pages. There's been other tweaking here and there over the past year, but nothing major IIRC -- just updates to the archives.

May 2005: Added links to information on our various inspirations to the FAQ page.

Jan 2005: Minor code fixes for new hosting server (which parses SSI a little differently).

11 Nov 2004: Added truefresco.org/referrers.htm link tracking to front page.

6 Apr 2004: Moved each part to it's own page instead of having a bazillion links on the Chapters page; added "cast lists" for each part.

31 July 2003: Boy, am I behind on this! I've updated the site to use SSI for the menues, which is why most pages now have the extension shtml instead of html. I also converted to style sheets, and did a bit of other cleanup here and there. AAE 8 is finished, and I'm not sure when AAE9 will start, but we're doing prep-work for it "back stage" so stay tooned ;-).
