Added a section about Thomas Bewick.; Investigated the reason behind why these pages look different and seem to have several missing elements when printing. The answer is that by default, in order to save you ink, web browsers do not print background colors or images. With Internet Explorer, this behavior can be changed by going to the Tools > Internet Options menu, selecting the Advanced tab, scrolling down until you see the Printing section, and checking the box marked Print background colors and images. In Firefox, this option can be found on the File > Page Setup menu.

Updates in 2007

Saturday, December 29, 2007 12:10am: Added many, many photos. Also, added descriptions to several of the sections under the Fine Printing category.
Wednesday, December 12, 2007 10:00pm: Added photos to the following sections: Valenti Angelo, Grabhorn Press, Bruce Rogers, Miniatures Books, Pre-1815 Books.
Tuesday, December 11, 2007 1:30pm: Rearranged the photos on the Kelmscott Chaucer section. Introduced a JavaScript function that would alter all internal links to point towards the McCuneCollection.com domain instead of the McCuneCollection subfolder on the AbsoluteAnime.com domain. Unfortunately, there are two disadvantages to this. First, the host (mydomain.com) doesn't seem to pass along page anchors (which allow jumping to a section within a page), and second, the page titles won't display in the web brower's title bar. Thus, this functionality has been disabled until these issues can be resolved.
Friday, December 7, 2007 3:30pm: Added code to prevent the Site Updates page from being cached by web browsers. Added an image gallery consisting of 11 photos to the Kelmscott Chaucer section.
Wednesday, December 5, 2007 11:00pm: Added planned future lecture dates to the Events section. Added some code to pull the most recent date from the Site Updates page and place it as the "site last updated" date found at the bottom of every page. This way we won't have to remember to change it manually every time the site is updated.
Wednesday, December 5, 2007 3:20am: Corrected a misspelled word.
Monday, December 3, 2007 12:45am: Added some external Wikipedia links to the names of historical and mythical figures found in the Confederate Currency section.
