| GROK website updates |
more from same (The Goodies) |
* The new 'Magnus Magnesium's Monthly Goodies Quiz 2013' is now up and running with the questions for January available at www.goodiesruleok.com/articles.php?id=265 and the answers and scoring system on a separate page.
* A start has been made on consolidating the back issues of the Goodies Clarion & Globe newsletter in the 'Articles / Guides' section of the website.
Up until recently, the first 133 editions were only available from the 'Clarion & Globe section in very basic text format while editions 134 -194 in 'Articles / Guides' are in a much more user-friendly format (with active hyperlinks, properly formatted puzzles, etc).
C&Gs 90 - 133 and all of the special editions are now available in the 'Articles / Guides' section and the remaining back issues will be added in coming weeks, after which the 'Clarion & Globe' section and the old text files will probably be deleted from the website.
