The MP guide site has been updated to provide a real site with navigation frame and also to add a site search capability (via google) so that people can search the rather long contents of the guide itself. It will take a little while for the google crawler to index the content on the site, but I'm hoping that this feature will make it easier for you all to find the information you need more quickly.
Since the site is now navigated from a home page, I've separated it from my own private domain and reserved a new domain for the site. You now only need to go to http://www.gameguides.ws/ in order to access the guide now. This should also make it easier to remember where the guide is rather than rely on the extremely long URLs that I used initially.
All in all I hope that these changes will make it a little easier to use and access the guide. Below is a listing of the sections in the guide and the kinds of content that you can expect to find there.
