Welcome to Clif Notes Newsletter
August 28, 2005

Hi all, I've launched a new project that should make it easier for me
to write the newsletter and for you to read it. I've opened a new wiki
at pbwiki.com and the newsletter will now be hosted there. You can
email me and let me know if you like it or hate it. (Thanks to ACF for
the wiki idea)

Here are the headlines from this week's letter.

NOTES:
Feedback and Other Stuff
 
Note to Susan Burgher:

Thanks for mentioning pbWiki. I went there and liked it so much I
decided to move in. Be sure to check out the SideBar feature. It's a
pretty good navigational tool for your wiki. I noticed you weren't
using it.

So far, feedback from my readers has been enlightening. I found that
most of them want all the content of the newsletter to appear on one
page only. They don't like clicking around into different pages.

Thanks again,

Clif

Hi Cliff,

Your pbwiki site is looking good. :) http://freewarewiki.pbwiki.com/

A sidebar for the ACF wiki doesn't seem necessary (yet) - it's a nice feature though. I also like
the "search here" search box that's at the top of each page.
