September 2002

• In an effort to improve Netscape 4.7 compatibility I edited the stylesheet for MDends so at least the colors come out better. Improvements to the shields are possible in future updates.

August 2002

• Created the Highway ends and multiplex webring.
• Added an index page for the US and Interstate routes that exist or existed in Maryland.
• Enhanced the sub index pages to include more information. The following was added. The towns of the highways two endpoints. The counties that the route passes through. The type of route - signed, unsigned, decommissioned, unassigned. And the ends that are needed for routes that are partially covered are shown as well.
• I also added MD 144 to the list. The page was ready but I forgot to add it.
