MOST RECENT UPDATE: May 16, 2011

Most recent changes:The site now functions without requiring the use of a mouse. We also broke the long pages formerly reflecting Part 1 and Part 2 into shorter ones containing ten to twelve hexagrams apiece, for faster load time.  The table of contents (list) has been tweaked for better accessibility, which also changes display for wide screens.

Gratitude to all the feedback encouraging us in ways to expand and improve.
