Second edition changes of HSDS

Huang Yushi has published the second edition changes of Jin Yong's HSDS. These are the changes Jin Yong made in the late 70s when revising his stories, which were originally published as serialised works in a newspaper.

News section, updates on frontpage and RSS feed

I've changed the Weblog section to News. Added a few update entries from the last few days. The frontpage will load 10 latest updates from this section. Added a RSS 2.0 feed for the updates (link at the bottom of the page). 

Sword of the Yueh Maiden, 3 chapters of Heavenly Sword, Dragon Slaying Saber

They have been migrated over, with original chapter pictures for HSDS. I'm still looking for book cover pictures of those novels. If anyone knows how to get them, please tell. :)

Third edition changes of Jin Yong novels

I've published the changes in the third editions of many Jin Yong novels compiled by Athena and Laviathan. They can be found under Novels. They are the changes between the second editions (published 20 odd years ago) and the third ones, published in 2004 and 2005 (and Jin Yong is still working on a few more). The second edition changes (differences between the original novels and the 2nd ed revised ones) will be published shortly.  

Bug in the display of some articles in Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer is the worst enemy of any web developer. It's true! You may notice that some articles (novel translations) appear to be pushed down just below the right menu when viewed in Internet Explorer 6.0 (WinXP SP2, latest patches). Some redundant br tags when copying and pasting the articles from the forums cause this. I'll fix it some time soon. It's recommended that you get rid of that stupid M$ browser with a 4 year old rendering engine and get a decent one, like Firefox or Opera if you are running Windows. If you are not using Windows, you have already done the right thing, congrats!

Edit: This bug is now fixed. Apparently IE screws up the width of a div where italic tags are used. Buggy piece of...

The first research article is published

Huang Yushi has published the first article under Research: the "Xiao Ao Jiang Hu" song. More coming soon as we migrate content from the Wuxia Fiction forums over.

Descriptions for Culture and The Arts in the Research section

Huang Yushi has written the descriptions for the two subsections of Research: Culture and The Arts. Thanks, mate.

The first character bio is uploaded

I've uploaded the first character bio "Old Man of the Mountain", written by Laviathan. Check it out here. This is the guy who started terrorism in the Middle East and who created the origin of the word "assasin" (well, at least in a half historical, half fictional way).
