Hi Shiri:

I'd strongly recommend leaving in the 'All entries on one page' option. It's
fast enough to bring the whole thing in (at least with a broadband
connection) and I'd find it disappointing to click on each letter just to
find out that there are no acronyms that start with E, G, J, and so on.

However, when I bring up the ''All entries on one page', I find it a bit
redundant that each letter includes a link to ''All entries on one page'.
For that matter, I don't see any advantage to each entry containing the
alphabet of all of the other entries.

I recommend having the ": <a A> <b B> ..." portion of each FAQ entry and the
body of the FAQ entry each put into separate FAQ pages. Then the individual
letters could include both, while the 'all' page could include only the
'meat', plus possibly the letter directory at the top and bottom of the
page.

Hi y'all,

There was a big storm warning up here today, so I got a chance to relax,
chill out a bit, and do something I've wanted to for a while.

So I present to you, the Acronym FAQ, now divided into sections by
alphabetical order!

http://www.lugnet.com/~88/acronym_faq/

Please LMKWYT. Do you like the new layout? Or is it annoying? I also left
the "all on one page" in case anyone wants to use it (and in case I want • to
change back to it).

-Shiri

(...) Right. I like it better, too. Which is why I'm wondering if the alphabetical division is helpful at all. Do you (or anyone, for that matter) think it is? (...) Hmmm, good idea! And I can use a single page for all the links. Great! Thanks, (...) (24 years ago, 6-Mar-01, to lugnet.faq)
