 | Crayola History Added |

You've probably noticed this already, especially if you get email updates about the site, but I'm adding the Crayola History to a blog section. This will make it much easier to update in the future.

I'm not precisely sure what happened, but tonight I discovered my main menu was all messed up. I think maybe my web host upgraded or downgraded their version of PHP, because all of a sudden some of my code wasn't working any more. Yay for open source development!
| Old Times |

Just so you know, the time on any article that I posted before moving to the new server (around the end of November) will be off by about 5 or 6 hours. That is, you have to (I think) add 5 or 6 hours to the times listed. This is because the times on the old server were stored as central time zone, but since moving I've been storing them in Greenwich mean time to avoid any similar problems in the future.
| Threaded Discussions |

Today I have extended the capabilities of the news engine to support "threaded" discussions. That is, a heirarchical structure where you can reply to any article, and reply to the replies, and so on. This is the basis of the proverbial "discussion group" found on so many web sites these days. Personally I don't particularly like web-based discussion groups, but hey, who am I to judge.

I don't like this feature. I always get lost when trying to follow it in other sites; it is rather like being in a maze that everyone else seems to understand but me.

For example, it just said "Read Replies (3)" I was expecting there to ACTUALLY be 3 replies...but there were only two. Is one missing or is my enumeration off?
