Hi Patches -
I thought that it would be helpful to users who check the site daily (not that I'm anal or anything...) to have you state just what was updated if there is an update. I checked in today and see that something was updated, but I can't figure out what it is...
Thanks.

Yeah, I was thinking that maybe I should have a separate little table for "Site News". Monday updates are almost always updating the "Next Episode" section, but... yeah, I should probably have a clearer and more specific mention of what exactly I'm doing. ^_^*
Do you have any suggestions as to where on the site I should put it? That's pretty much the only thing holding me back at the moment. I'm not much of a website designer, but I don't really want the site to look cluttered.

Unfortunately I'm not a website designer at all, so I don't know how to get things done, but I have some suggestions about where an 'update' section should go:
First - maybe on the left, where you have entertainment, opinions, etc. - make it the first category.
Second - where you have the new episodes listed (I don't like this as much, because it really is a separate topic than updates).
Third - Maybe you could just give the dates of when you post things - for instance, when you noted that the fourth movie is in the works, put a date for the post in the box. Fourth - You always note when some of the entertainment, obituaries etc. have been updated with an *up*. Would this kind of system work overall?
I agree that you have a really nice, clean site - I wouldn't want it to become crowded. By the way - you are doing a great job here - NONE of this is meant as criticism in any way.

Okay, I added some datestamps on the news items on the front page, so all news from now on will also come with the date it was added (I just stuck the date on the movie 4 news bit because I actually remembered what day I put that up ^_^*).
I'm also messing with a little I-Frame that would go below the list of sub-sections that would basically be a rundown of all the sub-section updates. However, I don't know if Geocities just doesn't like I-Frames or what, because it kept barfing at me, so that section is currently not up. Maybe I'm just using too much bandwidth downloading the Spring Special, so it just can't load the frame without timing out. I'll try again later. But until then, hope the timestamps are useful.

Ooo, I like what you've done. On the bottom left, that window that states the updates is really convienent! It's too bad geocities insists on putting that add there as well though.

I was like "Yay, I finally got the iFrame to work!", and then I looked at it, and it was just ".... CURSE YOU, GEOCITIES!!" I do plan on moving the site to my own domain once I've saved up some money for one (I kinda need a job for that, though ^_^*). Then I won't have to worry about those stupid banners covering up important information.
