Site Updates

I want to be transparent, and I want to let you know when I got something wrong. Because when I find out I was wrong about something, I fix it. So this is a running log of all the updates I make to this site: additions, corrections, and updates. Just so you know I’m always trying to be as complete and correct as possible!
