8.0 (1/13/06)

  • The largest content update ever.
  • Extensive behind-the-scenes work that should be fairly transparent to the readers. This should help simplify maintenance and make it easier to add pages in the future.
  • An extensive list of undocumented edits. Every single article on the site has been gone over and updated, usually to fix grammatical errors and the like, rather than a wholesale rewriting. Which isn't to say that a lot of rewriting didn't happen anyway.
  • Rewrote Wish Magic and...damn! The PDF will blow you away.
  • Added Pages info to Credits. Revised the page, moving the About the Author information there, moving the "Made Mac" logo up, clarified a few entries.

  • Revised, rewrote, clarified, expanded and renamed the Cosmverse, Cosms, and Dimensions article.
  • Removed the Consilium .html, leaving the PDF. Two good reasons: too much work to fix the html and no one needs it anyway. The PDF is just as handy.

  • Removed the Torg Rules section, moved articles to the Torg Blog.
  • Fixed links on the Links page and the Credits page.
  • Added the "updated!" graphic to different sections, to show which articles were updated. Would have added the "new!" but nothing is actually new. For the future, I guess.
  • Added a date updated field in the articles, to show revision dates. With templates, it was a snap. All hail Dreamweaver!
  • Rebuilt the PDF source stationery to avoid a bizarre (no proofing) error in MS Word. While so doing, took the occasion to revise some of the boilerplate.
  • After hours of struggle and several crashes, I abandoned MSWord for Apple's Pages. This enabled me to add a couple of very nice features to the PDF's (such as clickable links), add some minor graphics and in general avoid the annoyances of MSWord. Conversion from Word was fast and easy, thanks to Pages built-in .doc importer.
    Instead of a stationery, Pages works with templates. Creating and updating a template for the PDF's is quick and easy. Unlike Dreamweaver, old documents don't inherit changes, but nothing's perfect.
  • Converted all PDF's to the new format. Again.
  • Built a nested template for articles. Converted current pages over to the new template.
  • Built a nested template for the blog entries. Converted current entries over to the new template.

  • Finished the site review, including spellchecking, proofreading, link validation, and general doublechecking of all content and code.
