That's good to know. Here's your feedback:

Please lose the client script dependencies - it really does hinder access to
the content.

What parts, specifically, are giving you troubles? Most of the navigation
does not require JavaScript...

I don't remember why, but I believe the start point of 2001 was arbitrary...
had something to do with pre-existing articles before I switched to the
newer database servers, and there were articles up to 3 digits, and I wanted
to completely separate everything. Why I didn't choose 1000 as the first
article #, I really can't recall...

There was an issue with the previous design that I suspect is no longer
relevant - recent notes covered in the 'hosts' thread.

Good luck with the next 500.

Now I know you do receive site feedback I'll be sure to flag up any issues I
come across. Personally, I'd be happy to discuss the site (as opposed to
the content) in more detail, but I suspect that is just a little off-topic
here - maybe email or a more appropriate group? Your call.

Great job over the last ... years. Just the fact you have the time and

Re: our 500th Article!

Aaron,

Thanks so much for the site. Like all of the other responders I depend on
that site being there daily and couldn't have gotten to my level of coding
without it. I still have a long way to go but I count on the next 500
articles to get me there!

Thanks again

Mike

Congratulations , Aaron.

I'm not sure when the site changed, but I like the new look, as well as some
of the new details.

I meant to announce it over the weekend (I launched it Saturday night, I
think?). I should probably finish the help page, so that people can take
advantage of some of the new features.

Or, more likely, #5007. :-P
