Died Today is no longer separate. I folded it in with Born
Today!
Some other changes to note:
The date links now go to that person’s death (or birth, as appropriate) quote (e.g. on the September 17 page, if you click Tobias Smollet’s birth date 3/19, it takes you to Tobias Smollet on 3/19-—that used to work in a much less intuitive fashion and I never liked it).
If you hover over the picture, the person’s birth name appears (cf Anne Bancroft on Sep. 17).
Where links to other people appear, if you hover over the link, it shows the date that link will take you to.
People who have died since about March 2008 were not being added to the old “died today,” but were added
here in these new-format pages.
I’ve added a lot of people and quotes, and a lot of connections between people—parents/children, siblings, marriages.
(as before) Certain people’s images link to another bigger picture (see Lauren Bacall, Jennifer Tilly, Molly
Shannon, and Amy Poehler on Sep. 16). All of these “secret” images are listed on a page you can see if you click the “x” on the upper far-right of http://www.born-today.com/Choose_bDay.htm.
I added a “died on birthday” page, which lists the people who died on (or within a week of) their birthdays—all those people have links to that page—-for an example, see John Ritter and others on Sep 17.
Let me know how you like it--questions and suggestions are always welcome!
