Man" began marking any new updates which occurred at The Pumamouse Website in the South African OTR section. Since his first appearance, the little guy was added on every new webpage and any webpage which had been updated during the current month, and he also appeared beside the various links for that webpage, wherever those link were included on other webpages. This was done in an effort to guide website guests towards the new additions. However, The Pumamouse Website continues to grow larger each month, and the little guy sometimes appears too often throughout, which could cause more confusion than assistance. Therefore, beginning this month, "Z.B. Man" will appear only on the Sitemap, beside the link for any webpage which has been added or updated during the current month. I hope this small adjustment might improve website navigation and increase the pleasure of your visit! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
