Link maintenance

I've made some additions and changes to the links on my sidebar. Nothing major, no deletions, but a few additions and a streamlining of the layout of the links for added convenience.

My convenience, that is. Remember, these sidebar links are there (for the most part) because these are sites that I visit regularly.* So the latest changes were mainly about segregating those site links (that is, non-blog links) that I find myself using or referencing frequently.

I've created a new group called "Semi-daily visits". It includes these sites:

• CNN.com - News updates from a somewhat reliable source
• IMDB.com, the Internet Movie Database - A great resource for anyone interested in movies (moved from "Site links", now known as "Other site links")
• Snopes.com, the Urban Legends Reference Pages - Check out all your chain letters and friend-of-a-friend stories here (also moved from "Site links")
• New Scientist - up-to-the-minute science news (also moved from "Site links")
• NPR - National Public Radio - Another great and trustworthy news source, and a resource for news stories you won't hear covered elsewhere
• Fresh Air with Terry Gross - Interviews ranging across the spectrum of written experience
• Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me! - NPR's hilarious weekly news quiz
• Weather Undergound - weather for Nanticoke, PA - Detailed weather information and radar, customizable for many locations throughout the world

These are sites that I find myself visiting on a regular basis, some as often as every day. By separating them out from the "Other site links" I've made them more convenient and accessible for me. Tis is not to say that the rest of the "Other site links" aren't also useful and interesting; it's just that I don't visit them as often.

I'll be making more changes as time goes on, but that's it for now!

*Two of the links are there by special request, but I visit these sites once in a while, too.
