Minor changes
2003-12-15
I've made minor changes to the headlines portion of the page.

I added the permalink to the left of the headline; this will take you to the article for linking.

I changed the anchor for the headline text to take you directly there on the page, rather than calling the page all over again. This is quicker and easier on bandwidth, but using the address in a link to the article will only be good for a single day. If you're linking from your page, use the permalink approach!

I also changed the typeface for the headlines. I don't know if I like it or not...

A million thanx. Reloading sucked, especially while on dialup. (that means at home) :)

#6  Cool beans! I would imagine not having the reload on each article link will save mucho bandwidth.

#4  Thanks Fred. I like the fact that it no longer reloads the entire page when you click on a item in the headline (thats gets slow if there are a lot of long articles).

The Permalink and font changes are nice too.

#1  Thanx Fred, I was fond of the old typeface for the headlines. But the new anchor/permalink dealio looks sharp and works really well!
