2/15/98 Text-only versions of links pages (alpha and categorized) added. These load more quickly but lose some ease-of-use without the graphics. They will not be updated as frequently.

2/9/98 Received "Heart of the Web" award

2/9/98 Re-ordered "Newly-Added" category so that links are organized by date added rather than in alphabetical order. This is to make it easier for frequent visitors to find what has been added and also to make it easier for me to double-check that they have been put into the alpha list before deleting them from this category list.
