You can subscribe to get updates of new content by e-mailing us. Here is a brief text summary of changes: 11/14/2003: OK, so not all the code was fixed. Go ahead, smartass, call the ASP cops on us. Well, I think it's fixed now. But who knows? We have more ghosts in the machines here than the HM has Grim Grinners. As always, be sure to report any bugs you find by emailing us; be sure to include your system (PC/MAC/Tandy TRS80), browser version, and what you were wearing at the time. Be careful, on some older systems this website has been known to cause high-frequency feedback that can result in your monitor exploding and your face being covered in shards of glass. Use this site at your own risk, as we are not responsible for your plastic surgery bills should something go wrong. Supercalifragispecial thanks go to the web's new Goth princess and all-around nice codemistress Tasha Fledermaus for her unprecedented help in debugging. I'll post a link to her ghouly-licious website once I get permission. Gratis, Tasha!! Also big ups to ShezDorsai, who has been another source of great assistance in debugging the links since we switched hosts. Thanks!! Meanwhile, we've added two new pages: The Grounds (featuring all the outside stuff) and Oddities, where we put anything else that doesn't fit. I will be moving a lot of the exterior stuff currently in Exeunt to The Grounds later, but for now go see the new shots of the animated Leota tombstone, and an amazing shot of the entire Mansion wrapped in a shroud! Also, under Oddities, we've added some exclusive shots of our very special Dinner inside the Mansion! You won't find this anywhere else, gang! When you're done with that, go read I, Ichabod, a sad tale of Headless Horsemen and Hiatal Hernias. Again, an exclusive. And one that all the other HM webmasters are glad they don't have on their sites! Stay tuned, because we have about sixteen new photos coming up in the next week or so, including another rare find in the Attic: a genuine Edison! (But Edison what?) 10/10/2003: Fixed code for all browsers. All images should be appearing now... if you have any problems viewing, clear your cache. If you still have problems, write us with a description of the problem, and be sure to tell us what browser you are using. 04/07/2003: Switched hosting to Interland. Should be much faster now, and everything seems to be working. Report any errors you find, please! 11/07/2002: Whew!!! After the big Geocities debacle, it was time for HMIP to get its own domain name. And in case you haven't seen the big honkin' logo above, it's HAUNTEDMANSION.info!! Remember the name! And keep looking, because a radical new site design is in the works that will make navigating the site much easier! 08/01/2002: Yes, I know we haven't updated in a while, but this new stuff is worth it. We have transcribed the music on the Ghost Piano!! Check it out here. 03/21/2002: We have a new e-mail address! Yahoo is slowly converting all its formerly free services to pay services, so we're abandoning that sinking ship. (A year from now, when Yahoo is Chapter 11, we can all chant what were they thinking???) For now, Microsoft's Hotmail is still free, so our new address is: mansionpix@hotmail.com! 03/13/2002: Big update! But first, let me remind everyone that these shots are exclusive to HMIP and we have the copyright on them. Please don't copy and send our photos to other sites, or use them for your own sites. Ask permission, we give it in almost all cases. We don't want to start watermarking these things, but we may have to given the latest rash of stolen shots from our site. PLEASE HONOR OUR COPYRIGHT!
