20041224 The navigation bar at the top of 149 pages is modified so the buttons wrap better in smaller browser windows. I have assistance from people in newsgroups, but I also do much hacking of the code myself.

20041214 I am of assistance to ICRA (Internet Content Rating Association). Working with one of their people, I am told Microsoft Internet Explorer's Content Advisor does NOT read the ICRA labels correctly because Microsoft's product is not following the rules. This is news to the ICRA people too, and everyone is sad about it. They will soon fix the problem. This is not the first time I have worked with ICRA. A few weeks ago I discovered a bug in their label generator that they immediately fixed. I feel good to be part of making the Internet safer for children.
