Visitors to Learn the Net will notice some changes we made recently. We’ve given the site a subtle redesign to make it friendlier. The pages should load faster and be easier to read. We think you will also find it easier to locate the information you’re looking for. Another thing we’ve fixed is bookmarking. The way the old site was built, it was difficult to bookmark specific articles. That shouldn’t be a problem now.
While we’ve tried to find and repair all the bugs in the new site, inevitably, we have probably overlooked a few. As you go through the site, please let us know if you encounter any problems so we can quickly fix them. I’d also enjoy hearing your thoughts on the redesign. Your thoughtful comments have helped us improve the site over the years, so keep those ideas coming.
