- Cleaned up the main menu screen.
- Added web page hit counters with WebTracker (for main menu) and Internet Counter (for other pages) just two of many free web tracking services on the Internet. WebTracker records domain, platform, repeating visitors, and can set to ignore an IP address (good if you're revising online). Internet Counter (IC) reports hits by time of day, day of week, and month by month graph & table representations. With IC, you can easily create multiple counters with unique usernames corresponding to name of each specific web page, and can set counter at number of your choice. Click on counters on pages to see hit count and statistics. WebsideStory slowed down page downloads too much (didn't have graphs any ways).

October
13, 1997
- Fixed the problems with the frames in the Silver Waltz web page. The links in the menu frame (steps and foot diagram) were not suppose to open a new browser window. Instead, they are suppose to display the appropriate page in the adjacent frame to enable readers to reference the text to the accompanying video clip.
- Found that Windows machines with Microsoft Active Movie player can't play quicktime videos. Made a AVI movie clip so Windows users with ActiveMovie Player can view the clip. However, the AVI clip doesn't play well in reverse when using the slider bar. It also plays to video outside of the browser, rather than within the browser. Please download the Quicktime player (2.5megs) for in-browser viewing of the video clips.
- Added an self-analysis of the waltz video clip to share my observations so that myself and others can learn from them. I identify some of my difficulties, pose possible solutions, and request reader's recommendations.
