Once Daniel got to work on the new computer, the Guide's first regeneration quickly came about. The second title graphic:
It was about this time that Who fans discovered the Guide. Daniel had decided to see how long word-of-mouth took to make the Guide known on the net. Answer: three long months. Once the first outside review was submitted (Jim Weaver's review of Logopolis), he gave up his stoic wait-and-see approach and started advertising.
On September 3, 1997, the Guide moved to Feist Connections because of AOL's inherent unreliability. AOL's quality has only decreased since the move, and Daniel thanks David Cassel for taking the lid off of this below-par service.
The Guide's second incarnation lasted until Christmas 1997, and finally ended because the original format was too limited. Daniel had added a chronological index, but there were still ten to fifteen stories per pages, and with the growing number of reviews, the pages looked bulky and had an inordinate download time. With less than twenty reviews, ten or more stories per page was fine. Once the Guide had more than one hundred-fifty reviews, it became a designer's nightmare.
Daniel revamped the whole works, made everything more accessible, cleaned up some code, fixed some nagging errors (where were The Highlanders and The Massacre all that time?) and so forth...
