Temporary message - Welcome to the nearly completed new ILB
Within a week the transfer will be complete, but much remains to be done.
I have created new categories (see right column) so that "Indiana Courts" is now broken down by "7th Cir." IndSCt", etc. However, I still have to reassign earlier entries to these categories (and it turns out there are several 1,000s of earlier entries) so right now both old and new catergories co-exist.
Click on the Transfer List category to see how things should look in the end.
I am planning to change the calendar so that when you click on a date, you see excerpts of all entries for that date, rather than just the most recent.
And there are a lot of other improvements. However, also some drawbacks. When the transfer is completed, your links to indivdual entries from the old site probably will no longer work. Sorry. Worse, my older internal links to earlier entries may no longer work - I hope to resolve this at some point.
Also, when I imported the old entries a number of characters, such as the quotation mark, turns into question marks. This is annoying; I will work on it.
I am also working on the page format so that if you want to print out all the entries for a month, you will be able to do this in full-page format, rather than with a blank column taking up one-third of the page, as now.
There is more, but most of you are probably not interesting in nuts-and-bolts. If you have thoughts, let me know. (There is still no spell-check.)
Finally, for a future project, I would like to create a companion site which will track all Ind. Supreme and Appellate cases - giving their name, link, date, class (property, criminal, etc), status (transfer, etc.), date of oral argument, etc., using the information already accumulated as a start and building from there. The data would be sortable.
