Started a content plan to prepare for the site launch and ultimately to preview forthcoming articles and developments. Also renamed the XML directory to just /xml/, changed some links include files to upgrade their hierarchy to <h2 class="Rule">..., roughed-out initial Java & servlets and XML & XSLT section home pages.

Started article on installing Tomcat on Windows 95, and the first working example of a simple XSLT servlet. Moved the Xerces.jar and Xalan.jar archives to a separate /lib/ directory outside the document root and similar separate directories for /xml/ and /xsl/.

Uploaded .htaccess file to set appropriate MIME types for HTML, CSS, WML, WBMP, Flash (and enable script handling):
AddType "text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" html
AddType "text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" htm
AddType "text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" shtml
AddType text/css css
AddType application/x-shockwave-flash swf
AddType application/futuresplash spl
AddType text/vnd.wap.wml wml
AddType image/vnd.wap.wbmp wbmp
Added feedback form to the home page with a form handler script and uploaded a version of the main sidebar with holding content in place of links. Moved all Java source and references to /classes/ and established a new content directory in /java/ for Java and servlet articles.
Deleted P{text-align: justify} from CSStandard.css to avoid extreme word spacing in lines before long un-broken code elements.

Started using SSI to include CSS files in pre elements rather than copying the content and maintaining the changes on example pages. Further conversions to complete. Extracted .URI {margin-right} declaration from grouped .URI a:<pseudoclass> declarations to undo over-compensation for "compound" effect of grouping on the margin-right property.
