December 3, 2000
Using the same applet I used in benny's den, I added the applet to every one of the declaw pages. Many hits were coming to individual pages from outside of this site. It appeared as though people didn't realize how many pages there are in reference to declawing.
December 2, 2000

September 5, 2000
I've changed the catcam chair page so that it automatically renews the image every ninety seconds. This was done with javascript, so most every browser should be able to view it. You can now open a separate window for remote viewing. I realized there was an error in my midi file coding that made the midis in Internet Explorer sound pretty bad. I went through and changed all of the code I could find. As I find more pages with this error on them, I will change them. And now you don't have to download Crescendo to turn of the music.
September 4, 2000
