Pagination numbering reversed
The pagination controls have been modified and numbering order reversed. Older pages are numbered lower and are shown to the right of newer pages now. The “next” and “prev” pagination controls have been re-branded as “newer” and “older” to make things clearer.

Dynamic loading of right column achieved
The DB structure of all tables has been changed so that each entry can also store information about what is to be displayed in the right column. This allows dynamic loading of content in the right column to correspond with the currently displayed article. This has been effectively used to load the “People in this Story” part for each article.

Pagination logic overhauled
The old pagination logic caused the newest article to be displayed as Article 1. Each time a new article was added it would become Article 1. As a result old links shared on Facebook would end up pointing to the wrong article. This has been fixed now. The links now are like Permalinks and will point to the correct article always.

Facebook Fanbox test
The Fanbox widget was initially added to the homepage as a test but was spoiling the look. It has been added into a newsfeed article now.

Static “People in this Story”
Using Facebook Connect, a static pop-out of the article on a page shows thumbnail pictures of people mentioned in or related to the article. Clicking on the thumbnails takes you to the person’s Facebook profile.

On-page navigation menu implemented
Now each page has a small navigation menu in the right column. The navigation menu consists of icons representing each section of the site that show the section name as a tooltip when you hover over them.

roachLab section active
The section currently contains the Timeline that shows the history behind the site.
