Paul got a sneak peak of some of the changes waiting in the wings for the running links directory, but here's a general overview:

fully dynamic directory system -- updates reflected in real time
user reviews (that means you!)
detailed view of links where applicable
integrated Amazon.com book/movie pages -- get the full product info and latest price right here on Run-Down!
browsable virtual dead link directory structure (mirrors the real directory, but for inactive links; replaces the current jumbled dead link category) -- easily see if a link is in the target category, just inactive
search entire directory or just current category
user accounts for easier resource modifications down the road
probably a few others I'm forgetting...

Also, I am planning a few changes to the category names, both for purposes of intuitiveness and visibility. Your thoughts on these proposed changes and any other suggestions would be appreciated. Note: -> represents a name change and => represents a structure change.

Results and Events -> Events and Results (same for Triathlon/Results categories)
Other -> Miscellaneous (same for Triathlon/Other category)
Publications/Books & Movies => Popular Entertainment (new category)
Publications -> News Media
move US & Canadian events/results into a North American category; ditto for international
maybe add an Adventure Racing category somewhere?

Wait till it's live before you case any undeserved congratulatory remarks... Smile

I've been waiting 6 or 7 weeks for a bug to be fixed (actually, just a reply addressing the problem) with the directory program. Once that is sorted out, I think it'll be ready to load up.

For me, two of the ancillary bonuses of posting on and using this website have been that my writing and computing skills have increased. So far, all the changes that have occurred have increased the usability of this site, and I suspect that will continue to be the case in the future.
