Items with yellow background
indicate added or changed content.
Items with orange background tend to be more "technical",
improving the structure of the site, but not necessarily
significantly affecting end-user content.
Grayed out items are defunct. I started this log
on 7 July 1997; prior changes are
not included. (This web site was
established ca. 01 Dec 1996.)
