26 August 2000

• 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:
  1. 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
  2. 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.

• 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.

• 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.
