Moved guestbook entry form from the Guestbook messages screen to a separate entry screen. This makes the guestbook messages screen less cluttered and more importantly, it enables clients to better cache the guestbook messages screen
Replaced the visitor counter in the home page with an image based counter. This enables clients to better cache the home page (it does not change on each new visit)
Made a new visitor counter. It is visible in the home page and counts each visit to the site, regardless of the entry path. Known search engines are ignored by the counter.

guestbook to turn on word-wrap.
Added the most recent whatsnew entry to the site entry page.
March 14 2000
Several other pages and sections are now fully HTML 4.0 compliant. But
still a lot to do on other pages. No more HTML editors for me anymore. They
make a big mess of it. Just give me plain old vi.
Html clean-up to be compliant with HTML 4.0 specs. This ensures good rendering
on less-advanced browsers like lynx, mobile phones, organizers, etc. while the
pages still look nice on advanced browsers like netscape navigator or internet
explorer on a computer with a large graphical screen.
