Yup, you sure do, so lets get hot ok! Heh! Yea, another Firefox brethren, GTG!
Also, sorry I guess I failed to mention this, this will be available for use either for display on websites (public and private), though is mainly intended for use by users locally on their own computer, thus allowing users instant access on their own computer as a shortcut on their desktop or as a Favorites link within their favorite browser.
This way if you wanted you could place it on a USB and take it with you wherever or study on a computer that does not have an Internet Connection. Which, this was one of my main goals with this, to make an all-in-one utility for users to access for learning, referencing, etc. Also, each individual document will have a link back to the originating page and the author tab will have a link back to the main website page, (if there is one); that is a change I recently thought to add into the documents section.
The major components this includes to date are: the NavLinks section, the Awards and Tournaments section, and a Full Documents section. The motivation for this project was attributed to…well why should players be expected to hunt down all this great information spread all over the place like hounds in the derby?

Yeah, I appreciate that, especially when most of the google links no longer work, or bring up pages that havent been updated since Al Gore started the internet [;)]

Rexx, I'd like to make a suggestion. I feel that it's more appropriate to have the author's credits prominently displayed at the top of the article, just under the article's title, rather than at the end/bottom. Personally, I would feel slighted if my hard work was assimilated into a document like this, with my credits attached at the very bottom. The only benefit that these authors receive from their hard work is recognition, and so make every effort to do so with fanfare. I'm sure that it will go a long way.

Actually, that is originally how I had it setup when I first started developing the theme and format, with the title at the top and then centered underneath that I had the Author tab, though I felt it was way to clunky and took up to much space when you first brought up the document, as it took up most the screen space and made you scroll down before you could read a full paragraph, for me this was really irritating, so I decided to try and move the author tab down the bottom and positioned it towards the right and once I did I felt that layout just really brought it all together nicely. It is no longer clunky and flows the top together with the bottom with a nice fluid balance. It is not as if I am trying to hide the author, their name and even the date (if known or the approximate date) is even listed along with their name, and in fact each document will even include hot-links to their own site, (when available.) Additionally, several of the titles actually even already include the authors name within it, and hey I even include a nice little copyright statement, but laff, “Yeah yeah, everybody's a critic  ”
