Note: The contents of websites in this archive are my own customized/improved versions. (Merely republishing exact/original replicas would have been quick and easy(!) compared to the extensive time and effort needed to produce what you now see.) The main reasons being to save time for readers by removing unwanted content, and to provide the information in a much more accessible and organized way.

Other Notes

Within this archive:

• Typical tasks which have been done on the files (or have at least been quickly checked for any such issues; the specific details of which/where won't be recorded here):
  • Reformatted and fixed/updated/improved HTML - from minor presentation/page-layout issues, up to a thorough reworking of the whole thing, e.g.:
    • All pages - where necessary - have been adjusted to work on any/all devices (no restricting the flow/width - that can be done elsewhere anytime later - it should not be hard-coded into each file).

    • Many sections/websites had a multi-column <table> layout which was like trying to read two/three/four things at the same time - impractical, presents poorly, bad design; also very difficult to use on small mobile devices (if having to constantly scroll around, most readers would give up). Converted to serialized/single-column (no table) page.

    • Removed use of deprecated <font> tag or similar to do things like making the font smaller or tiny - often for the entire article (which shows a lack of understanding of the web-developer who made such pages - even since HTML/web-pages were invented, that was still bad design). All pages - where necessary - have been adjusted to just use the default font and default font-size. This allows easy alterations via CSS (a feature which will be added soon in the wrapper code) to do whatever anytime later - but at the user/reader's preference - which is most important.

    • Ugly/outdated different colors (old-style embedded within elements), alterations to link colors, etc., stripped out. If emphasis or some other purpose was intended, markup has been applied or adjusted. (Default plain black and white might be "boring", but it's the most practical, and easiest to thoroughly style/color later on - if desired.)

    • The above and related changes below help to standardize the pages across the entire archive, keep up with modern browser standards, streamline global project updates/improvements, and improve overall usability and accessibility in all cases.

  • Fixed URLs/links - verified all internal links now work. (They should also all go to the correct file and #anchor, however there's no way to automatically verify this detail). Some external links have also been updated - unfortunately most of them are likely defunct now; if there's no known same replacement, then links to other sources such as a web archive service could be used.

  • Furthermore, all local links have been converted to relative, so now the entire archive can be downloaded and used offline from anywhere on your computer, or even republished anywhere within any other website(!), and all local/relative links will still work. These things are very important, since I also plan to distribute this entire archive through unlimited methods, and make it as easy as possible for everyone to use.

  • Thoroughly re-organized directory/file structure in most cases (since it's technically a new website, we don't need to care about retaining or forwarding changed URLs, etc.). Primary focus is on clarity and accessibility for the reader/user - which also happens to be the best for when working on the contents. Optionally browsing via the sitemaps (which I also added) now also makes sense.

  • Fixed numerous file encoding faults. All files converted to good/plain old US-ASCII format (the most reliable/universal). Anything else converted to HTML entities (don't need/want UTF-8 or any other character encoding method). Unlikely to go wrong now, no matter where/how the files are transferred around, to/from wherever/however. (Typical worst-case scenario has now been reduced to the trivial CR/LF issue, which is of no consequence to the browser. i.e. I'm using Linux LF, but no problem if that's swapped to CR/LF (Windows) or CR (Mac).)

  • Site presentation framework such as (duplicated in every file) header/footer/side-content all stripped out (whether hard-coded or via .shtml/.php include or other directives - all removed) - only the article/chapter/etc. content itself has been retained. Extra content/navigation/styling/etc. can be wrapped around each actual article/chapter/etc. later anytime - shouldn't include any of this in the source/master files themselves.

  • Removed all useless/obsolete <meta> tags, (non HTML5) DOCTYPEs, etc. Only <meta name="description" content="..."> - where present - has been retained, for use with my sitemap builder.

  • Hid or removed dubious promotional content or links to same, banner-ad's, and other defunct junk.

  • Often, if I noticed any other problems or issues with wording, I've updated the content itself, and/or added some notes.

  • Etc. ... often fixed and tidied up lots of things along the way, big and small, typos, breaking up huge paragraphs for improved readability, adding tags for quoted sections to clarify what they are, converting plain text lists to HTML lists, various things to improve presentation... etc.

  • Some directories (only visible in source) have .info files with further/other notes, and there are some (hidden) comments within individual files, giving a rough idea or more details of some of the other things which have been done.

  • In most cases, I've at least quickly glanced through every file, to check that they at least all look/work ok in a modern browser (but I haven't read them all - hopefully it's all ok). If you notice any issues, big or small, let me know and I'll resolve them.

• All links/references to/about (case insensitive):
  • bigbooster.com - dealt with, including commenting out heaps of unwanted content.
  • buildfreedom.com - all dealt with.
  • certopower / certopower.com - dealt with.
  • FWO / Free World Order - mostly replaced with "Build Freedom" or reworded (some intentionally left in - with a hidden comment stating this). IMO, one or a few articles on this idea would have been good; anymore than that is unnecessary, and unsuitable to have it everywhere as the main site-theme (when actually we already had "build freedom" as the main site-theme). "Free ... Order" contradicts itself - freedom-oriented individuals aren't interested in giving or taking "orders". I already knew and appreciated FM's idea/intention with this, but it can just as easily backfire with anti-"NWO" folks who don't already know the idea behind it (hence it had to be explained each time the issue came up, which became awkward).
  • JBP / justbeenpaid / justbeenpaid.com / profitclicking / profitclicking.com - commented out or replaced.
  • mailto: ... - most known defunct email addresses (for FM, ML, email-lists, and to any of the above domain-names) deleted or commented out. What's left are for various different individuals/organizations, which I've not checked - maybe they're still around and valid - or not - they can stay anyway for now.
  • megabooster / megabooster.com - dealt with. The name has been left visible in some places, but no links or dodgy stuff remain.
  • MPL / monsterprelaunch / monsterprelaunch.com - dealt with.
  • neotech / neo-tech / neo-tech.com - all sorted from/to all local files. Where the domain-name was mentioned in the article text itself (in other websites and neo-tech.com), that has been left in; however all href/src URLs have been adjusted to the local archive.
  • offshore-privacy.com - dealt with.

• All files which were HTML, or rendered to HTML content for viewing in a web-browser (.htm, .rhtml, .shtml, .php, .rbx) flattened/renamed to .html. All links updated.

  A further benefit of this is that now all bulk search-replace operations can/should only be done on *.html files - this prevents issues with looking into meta-content like text/notes files about the content itself (and which I don't want to be part of bulk edits), or accidentally modifying binary/other files.

• To enable my simple navigation system to work, all directories with .html files now also have an index.html file within - some were already done; some had to be restructured. All links updated.

• "missing file" noted in some files, where missing images, videos, etc. were noticed. (I don't have it in my private archives, and can't find it anywhere else - deleted from server before anyone saved it.)
