This page began sometime in October 1994. At that time it was just a way for myself to keep up with information that was being put on the Web and the internet. As I became more comfortable with it, it began to expand and got more comprehensive. The page then underwent some remodeling as I decided to upgrade into a better format, and it had stayed basically unchanged for the past 5 months.

This version through which you are browsing, began on April 2, 1995. At that time I had received over 50 suggestions on how to improve the information being presented. A common complaint was the slowness in loading, as the page got to be somewhat long. As a result, it is now modular, with information and links placed on separate pages. Now it is easier to access the different sections with the easy to use menu on the main page.

Sometime around 1998 I began tinkering with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), which eliminate irregularities in formatting and make maintenance much easier. Less images are needed for fancy stuff and access to the information, my primary priority, has improved significantly.

Beginning February 2001, I have started a transition towards XHTML. This is a new standard set up by the W3 Consortium that should make it easier to migrate towards full fledged XML and other markup languages that arise.

In 2005, I moved to a permanent hosting service that provides a dedicated address for the Def Leppard Atomic Mess. With any luck, I won't have to move the site address ever again!
