SubjectThanks for your excellent CSS tips. I suggest to add "date modified" on these.

Hi, Tarquin,

Thank you for your well-written guidelines on "Making IE 5.5+ use position:
fixed".  Your clarity, depth, and accuracy exceed what I have come to expect
from other help sites.  I will be referring to your site in the future for
checking on browser support for other CSS tricks.

One helpful addition to your site would be indications of the dates articles
were last modified or reviewed.  I mention this mostly because your footer,
"This site was created in 2001 by Mark Wilton-Jones." is the only date on
the page, and that can make the advice appear less up-to-date than it is.

Thanks again,

   Ruth Williams

Good point :) Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Unfortunately, going back through all the articles would be almost
impossible, especially since the footer itself is generated by a server side
include, not the individual page.

The tutorials pages all say when they were modified, because the PHP I use
for those gives me a little more control.

But since the '2001' is a little misleading, I have now removed the date
from the footer.
