Site Updates

Welcome to Heptameron.info.

This page records all updates and changes to the site made after March 29, 2008. The site has been in existence since 2007-02-23, but before now I was too lazy to keep track of the changes.

Next Planned Upgrades:

• create outgoing links from selected footnotes

September 11, 2010 -- added repetitions of the word Heptameron in the title and meta description of the main page to see if this improves rankings or not.

April 17, 2010 -- well I did it sooner than I expected. Converted the entire site to SSI (server side includes) so I can change the layout of every page by only changing one file. Also completed the bowdlerization of the images so Mr Google doesnt get mad at me. This is probably the last significant update of this site which will now be an archive, though I will tweak it from time to time. And speaking of Google, as of today this site ranked in the top ten for all main serch terms related to heptameron. Eureka! Lastly, I also added an updated link report and new site map. Also added a final page entitled Navarre Heptameron because that is actually a common search.

April 15, 2010 -- Carried out a major site overhaul and construction. Added the entire text of the Heptameron as well as illustrations for each of the tales. Changed the title headings, and blurred out the naughty bits on some of the images. This is probably the last major content upgrade but in the future I plan to improve the coding of the site by sing divisions and SSI includes.
