Critical Updates

1. Upgrade redirection script to improve performance and fix several bugs.

Code, Theme and Feature Updates

1. Created new Article Archive page which expands upon the existing window of the same name. You can now browse site content by month posted, category, most commented and last posted.
2. Added improved pagination features to help move between articles. The front and category pages provide page by page navigation replacing the "older posts" and "newer posts" links, while individual articles provide "previous article" and "next article" links.
3. Restored the ability to browse articles by category and added category hyperlinks to article footers.
4. Added link in Article Archive window to the latest Changelog update.
5. Replaced bulky "hyperlinks" section on Changelog pages with a streamlined, two-link option to browse previous site updates.
6. Updated search field (Article Archive window) to contain the default text "enter search terms" to help identify the field's function to users. When clicked, the field clears for easy text input.

Outstanding Issues

1. RSS feeds are malfunctioning intermittently. Several attempts to correct the problem have failed, so more research is necessary. I hope to have a working fix in place within the next five days.
