24 new and updated words, plus easier linking

Happy Monday. Here's some new slang for ya.

I mentioned in the weekend update that I added pages for individual slang terms. This is a step towards Online Slang Dictionary search (coming later this week!) and also makes linking easier. Linking instructions are available for each term by clicking "Link to this word" at the bottom of the definition.

Feature Updates: Improved thesaurus; link to individual terms

It's too hot outside, so I decided to stay in and improve some features.

First, the thesaurus is now easier to navigate. On each thesaurus page, it now has "breadcrumbs" that show where the thesaurus category is located, as well as links so you can filter to more specific categories. It looks like this:

Thingspolice and crime → crime

To filter these results, click one of the following categories:

The second addition is that each slang term now has its own page. This will make linking to terms much easier, but has a cooler benefit: it's a step towards adding search functionality. I've updated the Linking page, but soon I'll make it even easier to link to terms.

Hope you're having a good weekend!

New "related words" links, plus 20 new terms

Here's volume 3 of Slang from the OSD Vaults. Hope you like 'em.

Also, I added links to the bottom of each definition so you can view related slang words. Hopefully that will make the thesaurus a bit easier to use. Feel free to send me feedback at waltergr@aol.com.
