Regular visitors to Varos may be wondering why there hasn't been as many updates as I usually have, there are two main reasons for this:
- I've now got webmaster duties for the Doctor Who Club of Australia website, and getting that page set up has been taking my time, and
- Due to point 1, I've been having some serious thought as to the direction of this site. There's been times where I feel I've bitten off more than I can chew, and because of this, I've been reconsidering what the site has to offer. Things may change, things may not, you'll just have to wait and see while I sort things out. Rest assured: the site won't be going away - I enjoy working on this site, it's a hobby, and it's good experience for me.

There has been many other minor changes, too many to list here, so take a look around and expect a few surprises. :)
-
As usual, I've updated the Doctor Who: Web Guide and the This Week in Doctor Who documents for the week, both dated June 30.
-
Other layout changes have been made to the Doctor Who: Books and Doctor Who: Episodes guides. I've tried to make them easier to read.
-
theLibrary has also changed, it's been "focused" more, and is now called of Magic Morphs and a Matrix, the idea is still there, but I've wisely limited the scope of the project.
-
I finally added proper links to Alternity from each page. For those who don't know, Alternity is a Harry Potter fan-fiction alternate universe, that I archive. Take a look.
-
The Animorphs section is no more: I got rid of it basically due to the fact that the information I have, is already around on almost every other site, and there wasn't much point. The same thing applies to the Doctor Who: Continuity section, there's already several guides like that on the web.
-
Updated all pages, giving them a black background, and blue "highlights" - since most of you liked the April Fools Day joke earlier, I decided to use parts of that idea.

As you can see, I've updated the site again... >:-)
