| 02/22/06 | I have added the ability to search the entire site using the Google search bar located at the bottom of the main page. I hope it will help you use my site more effectively to find the info you need. Also - I am playing around with some targeted Google advertising on the site. It costs me several hundred dollars a year to keep this site running - and it has been up since 1998. If this works out - maybe I can pick up a few pennies to help pay the bills - hopefully you guys won't find the ads too distracting or annoying, and might actually click on a few if you see something that catches your eye. |
