My fault entirely  Fixed. :)

If anyone notices anything out of order, let me know and I'll fix it
ASAP.  I *know* there is at least one more notable mistake somewhere
between 100 - 200 that I noticed long ago but couldn't quite find
since I took over. I would have written it down, but I had no idea I'd
eventually be managing the archives a year ago. :)

This is a good idea and I'd like to hear other people's thoughts on
this.  Building additional pages is easy as pie.  The only issue would
be adding a snippit of code to make the links go "back" to the correct
page the story is located on, which may require a bit of tweaking on
every single story page due to the way things are currently set up.  A
little tedious, but I will do it for MK if the consensus leans that
way. :)


>>>Sounds like a good idea to break them up into 25 to 50 pages per
page. Also might make the story archive less intimidating if the newbie
can only see 50 stories at a time :)
