TWISTYPUZZLES.COM NEWSLETTER
Issue #26 - September 2004
Hello again, everyone!

Books! This issue might well be called the Georges Helm Library Newsletter. Georges contributed pictures and information for over 160 different books! Incredible! If you haven't seen Georges site, which contains the details of over 400 additional books and plenty of other related information, check it out here.

In the month of August, we managed to add 109 new items (a new record), modify 69 more (another new record!), and add 190 new high-quality pictures. Special thanks go out to Georges Helm, of course, who added or modified a total of 167 items, Adam Zamora who added two and updated one, and Darren Grewe who added one.

New Features / Changes / Bug Fixes

The following is a list of the things that have changed on the site over the past month. You may already have noticed these changes in place.

  1. Author & Publisher. Added Author and Publisher to the uses of the Inventor and Producer fields respectively for all of the book information added this month.
  2. Form Tweaks. Edited the Add A New Puzzle and Modify This Puzzle forms to work with the above change, and tweaked some design issues while I was there.
  3. Section Link. Made the Section field value on the puzzle pages a link to the section listing. I finally got sick of wishing I'd get around to adding that feature!
