The latest newz concerning the VAMPYRES ONLY pages.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
---- Last Update: Saturday, May 11 1996 -----
*** NEWEST ***
Now that the summer has arrived, I should have more time
to put towards VO, considering I've basically neglected it
since last September ...
I've added several new listings to the Vampyric Shops page.
Now you can automatically link your home page to VO!
Now you can use a simple search engine to (hopefully) find
what you are looking for.
I've added several new conversation areas, including WebChat!
Feedback on how to improve these areas is always appreciated.
I'm working on some new stuff for the Gallery, including a Vampire
Film Poster area, as well as getting the Bloofer Ladies area up
and running again.
Over the summer, I'll be going through all of the files in VO, and
perhaps adding more features found in the new HTML standards.

Now, for a little self-indulgence!
===========================================================================
Vampyres Only has been referenced in two Internet books! =)
They are:
1. Walking The World Wide Web (Ventana Press)
written by Shannon R. Turlington
2. Internet Roadside Attractions (Ventana Press)
(thanks to Dave Scott for this information)

Here's what the World has to say about Vampyres Only:
============================================================================
The Fringe WEBster
HOTlist Nov. 8, 1994
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
VAMPYRES ONLY
Halloween may be over, but vampires still exist. Turn to the Vampyres
Only home page for a year-round glimpse of the preternatural. Eavesdrop on
an "Interview with a Vampyre." Visit the impressionist vampire art
collection at the Pointe du lac Gallery, or snuggle up with an electronic
version of your favorite vampire tome found where else but in "Fangdom."
Curious about your own propensity toward vampire nature? Take the Vampire
Probability Quiz. Those more confident of their human nature can take the
Vampire Vulnerability Quiz. And, after sucking this page dry, latch on the
provided links to "veins of a similar nature."
WEBster says: "Bloody interesting stuff"
============================================================================
============================================================================
From "The Guardian", a national newspaper in England:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you a vampire? Or, possibly worse, are you likely to fall victim
to one? Find out by doing the Vampire Probability Test or the Vampire
Vulnerability Test on the Vampyres Only home page on the Vorld Vide Veb
(sic) at: http://www.wimsey.com/~bmiddlet/vampyre/vampyre.html
This excellent site also features an Interview with a Vampyre, a vampire
art collection, and Fangdom, a library section that covers books, magazines,
comics and films. Vampyres only is based in Vancouver, Canada, where
Wimsey Information Services is the largest Internet service provider.
