I’ve been tinkering a little with the Today in History box on the main entrance of the website. (So, if it starts to screw up, that’s the reason.) In case you’re wondering, the information in that box is generated by a JavaScript program that checks the current date and finds relevant historic news data and prints it onto the screen.
I have reformatted the box to display information in neat columns, and I have added the ability to occasionally find and display a photograph related to the historic news items (and a small caption). I hope that makes the Today in History box just a bit more interesting.
