New Stuff

26 September 2004

In response to many complaints that my treatment of Islam and Jihad is biased and unfair, I included a link to Dhimmitude, a site by Prof. Bat Ye'or based on a life of scholarship on the status of non-Muslims in Islamic lands.
Updated the Issues I Care About page to reflect this change.

12 September 2004

Finally completed work to restore old blog layout with the new WordPress template. The blog is now visually consistent with the rest of the site. One tweak over the old layout: I moved the right menu over to beneath the site menu, freeing up screen real estate for blog posts.

Added “Prayer Request” as a subject option in the email form.
Revised email form to accept subjects via URI, e.g., http://kevinbasil.com/feedback/index.php?subj=Prayer%20request .

29 May 2004

Finished updating the blog to WordPress version 1.2, “Mingus.” This was quite a bit more difficult than I first expected.
Using the default WordPress index for the blog. The old index is no longer working due to changes in WordPress. Fine. The layout on this site is four or five years old anyway, and it needs to be updated.
“Decimation & Reconstruction” seems to continue to be appropriate, especially in view of recent life-changes.

Revised page on St. Vladimir to be simpler and added a link to the OCA article on his life.

26 June 2002

Converted top-level pages from tabular layout to Cascading Style Sheets. By ditching the tables, non-visual browsers should be better able to parse the documents. It also allows for better separation of structural mark-up from style.
Converted top-level pages to generation by PHP scripts on the server side, to avoid the old situation where pages would be linked to themselves in the left navigation menu.
I'm sure that I've done some other updates in the past nine months, but they've probably been quite minor. The one exception is the adding of a Blog. Today's update, however, integrates the blog with the rest of my original site.

2 November 2001

Updated home page to honor the blessed memory of Fr. John Romanides.
Updated Issues pages:
1. links to articles about the unconstitutional destruction of liberty by the so-called Patriot Act in America Under Siege
2. links to articles about Windows XP and Linux in the Software Wants Freedom, Too

Added Email/feedback form for people to send me email without compromising my address to spam harvesters.

13 September 2001

Added "America Under Siege" describing the chilling similarity between the film The Siege and recent events in New York and Washington, DC. A warning about the price of freedom.
Updated front page to reflect solidarity with the dead and those who survive them.
