| Site News Thinks have looked quiet on the site for a while but I have been working behind the scenes designing and implementing a new database. There were some features that I wanted to add that were not possible in the original design (ex. multiple penciller credits for one story or cover). I reformatted the data and have moved it to the new data structure and have started a redesign to accomodate the changes. However, right now my web host is serving the files very slowly. They claim the site is the problem, I claim it is their network. Looks like i have to move to a new place - which is a little painful. I will update this as things progress and will be able to being the transition soon! Thanks, GREG. |

| Site Updates Even though there hasn't been many indexing updates lately, I have been hard at work on some behind the scenes work. First, eBay's API began returning strange results. Upon debugging those problems, I discovered they were changing the API in June, so I had to rewrite the eBay code to use the new one. Second, my hosting company updated the database software. The new version did not support some of the AtlasTales queries and did not produce an error. So I had to go through and update a lot of the 5 year old code that just quit working. Third, I am redesigning AtlasTales again. There are a few limitations of the database design that have come to light as the project has moved forward. The new design will address those and add some other features that I think will make the site better. Also, I think it is time for a fresh look. Fourth, I want a mobile version of the site - but that won't be possible until the new database is ready. Possibly some mobile apps as well - I've already written a couple of apps for the iPhone and find it very intriguing. Thanks for your continued support! GREG |

| Fixes. There were many hours logged this weekend fixing a few under the hood problems that crept in over time. One bug was found that had been radically slowing down the site since 2006 - discovered and squashed. Hopefully everyone will notice the increased speed of page loading. |

| Lack of Indexing Updates There has been a lack of updates lately. I have several new projects and they all require me to learn new stuff to complete them. So, my time has been stretched to the max. I have finally turned the corner on several of them and am ready to get back to Atlas Tales and catch back up on what needs to be done. I will reveal the new projects soon! Thanks, GREG. |

| Issues Not Indexed List Was finally able to put together the Issues Not Indexed List. It is rather large ...still... but at least it small enough to be manageable. I'll concentrate on knocking out as many as I can - as fast as I can. |
