The Baby Boomer Generation

We've made some significant changes here over the last few weeks. Here's a rundown on the changes:

1. We are currently testing a system to display related links from over 8 million weblogs around the world. It's often hit or miss, but generally seems to be on topic. We certainly can not control the opinions expressed in the related outside links - nor would we want to. So in the spirit of fair play, we're lettin' it ride.

2. We also added a related links system to pull associated stories from within the Baby Boomer Generation itself. Again, the relationships are often oblique, but for the most part, it presents a window to the archive that is at least somewhat related.

3. New bulletin board. This is our third try at a functional BBS. The first one was a free trial of a commercial installation. That worked great, but the critical piece missing in the free version was the ability to delete posts. So, over a couple of years, the bulleting board was overrun by unsolicited commercial posts.

4. New design. We're toying with cascading stylesheets and have created what we believe to be a simplified design using it. As with everything, it's constantly evolving.

5. Added a section so users can view all the comments in one place.

6. Keeing a running total of all comments and articles.
