News & Site Updates

We've been busy with upgrades to the articles directory, so no article included in this newsletter. However, we do have an interesting feature article summary below.

1) Removal of Popups From Articles911.com Update

As indicated earlier this month, we've removed all popups from articles911.com and work911.com. We will look at whether we can keep them "gone" in March. As traffic increases, we need to have some way of paying for the bandwidth needed for the free article directory..

2) New Additions To The Article Database

There have been 115 new links added in the last three weeks. To access new articles ONLY, go to http://www.articles911.com/New/

This brings us to a new articles911 feature.

3) Addition of Suggested Books Categories

We've added some new categories where we review or summarize the LEADING books in particular fields. For example, if you go to the change management area, you should find summaries of books related to that topic. We will be adding more of these summaries as we go. Not only should this help you find the most significant books in each field, but if you purchase them from a link on our site, we get a small percentage of the sale from amazon.com. This will help us keep our sites popup free.

New Stuff:

We've added a new discussion guide and free book chapter. This time the material has to do with team leadership. It's in adobe acrobat format. We'll give you the url for all free products, and previews, so you can browse (note there is so much material it doesn't fit on one page. Go to: http://www.work911.com/cgi-bin/links/jump.cgi?ID=3184

5) Odds & Ends

Added, a newer section on Personality & Learning Styles at: http://www.articles911.com/Personality_And_Learning_Styles/

We tracked down and removed about 50 expired or bad links, so you should find less "dead" articles.
