Please let us know if you have any suggestions or comments.

Wednesday, August 25, 2004

I've made some more changes to the site. You may need to reload each page you've already viewed today to see the correct version. The biggest change is that each quotation now has its own page, so you can link to a favorite quote, and we can add notes to a quote. Here's an example. Click on a quotation on any page, or use the icons next to it, to display its page. You can also email a quotation to a friend (or yourself) from the form on that page. Use the envelope icon next to any quote to reach the email form.

Sunday, July 25, 2004

I've made some changes to the site layout and code to make things work better. (You may need to reload your browser to see the correct version.) The most obvious change is that the quotes by author and by subject show 30 quotations per page instead of 10. Let me know if anything isn't working, or if you're unhappy with any of the changes. Stay tuned for some more dramatic and useful changes in the near future!

Thursday, July 01, 2004

We've been overwhelmed with advertisers for a while, so I'm ending the $5.00 special price. Text ads are now back to $10.00 per 10,000 views. If you're a current advertiser, I'll let you renew your ad at the old price for the next 60 days. Contact us if you have any questions.

I've started yet another site that has nothing to do with quotations: The Gadgets Page will publish reviews and articles about camcorders, cameras, computers, and other high-tech gadgets.

Thursday, January 15, 2004

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was born on January 15, 1929, 75 years ago today. On Monday the 19th, the US celebrates Martin Luther King Jr. Day. For a tiny sample of his thoughts and accomplishments, read our 22 quotes from Dr. King. His legacy lives on at The King Center and The Civil Rights Coalition.

Thursday, December 18, 2003

Monday, December 15, 2003

I have simplified the Quotes by Author section: now the entire list of authors for each letter of the alphabet appears on a single page. While this makes some of the pages large - i.e. S and B - at least you don't have to click "Next Page" ten times to get to certain author names. Please let me know if anything doesn't work, and let me know whether you think it's an improvement.

Monday, January 08, 2001

I've changed the navigation options to the left to text instead of graphics. They should work the same, and load faster. It may not be as pretty, but we need to conserve bandwidth, since we're not making as much money on advertising as we used to. Speaking of which, if you have a Web site, you can advertise it here cheap.

Tuesday, January 02, 2001

Sunday, August 27, 2000

I am in the process of implementing a new layout on the pages which looks nearly identical, but eliminates some unnecessary download time and eliminates the annoying horizontal scroll bars. Please leave a note if you experience any browser errors or if anything looks strange.

Thursday, August 24, 2000
