Redesign updated 10.13.06 tim
There hasnt been a lot of major updates on the site recently for various reasons but I am working on a way to fix this. It will involve a major redo of the site and moving to a new server. This is something which the Jars World has been needing for a while. I am not sure how it will all work. This major change will mean some current sections may be removed. I will rework them if I can. The possible sections of the site to be removed will be as follows:
Top
- Links
- The Forum
- The monthly polls
- Site of the Week
- The Store
- The advertisement section of the site

The Jars World is back updated 12.28.05 Tim
If you hadnt heard the server the Jars World is on was hacked. And after a lot of hard work I have finally gotten the Jars World back in running order. Sadly I couldnt get every area back to how it was before. Some of this was beyond my control. Please let me know if you find something not working.

Internet Archive Wayback Machine updated 07.05.05 Tim
I know this doesnt really fit into Site News or Jars of Clay News category but I thought I would post this anyway. I am not really sure how I found the Wayback Machine, but let me tell you it is really a neat resource out there on the net. If any site was indexed by archive.org at any point then the Wayback Machine is almost guaranteed to have some sort of record of that site. Usually the part you get from a search it is just the html file itself. But sometimes you get lucky and images made part of the backup. You should check out the history of either the Jars World or Jarsofclay.com just to see the way things used to be.

Updates updated 04.29.05 Tim
I have been doing some updates here and there. This is just a hold over till I get the new site launched. My last change was to the Link section of the site. I rearranged some of the links to new and different categories. Before that I made some other sections easier to read. I would appreciate any feed back on the site or new ideas for the site.

Jars of Clay commentary updated 12.13.04 Tim
As I was finally finishing up my new review of Frail tonight I realized several things that totally caught me off guard. It is hard to believe but Jars of Clay and Frail have been around for over ten years now. I didnt become a fan until sometime late 1995 or early 1996. I do remember hearing the early rumblings of them several times throughout 1994. It really is amazing how things have changed in this world since then. I can only imagine what the future holds.
The other thing I realized was the Jars self titled album is nearing its own 10th birthday. Needless to say this was / is a very important album for them. It started their success and it definitely furthered it. Its the album that made me a fan.

Update Madness updated 11.22.04 Tim
I have been working a lot of OT at my fulltime job, which has made it hard to do any real updates. I have found some time at work in which I can do some small updates. So with that time I am going rewrite some of my album reviews. In the next week or two I hope to add some items to the downloads page.

Site Updates updated 04.20.04 Tim
I apologize for the lack of any real major updates, but we have some things in the works. Most notably we are working on a downloads page and restructuring of some the other pages effected by this. Also the Flash parts of the site will be getting some code updates in the next couple of days. It should all be notice able.

Houston we have lift off updated 02.29.04 Tim
At long last the time is finally come. The new Jars World is here with new improvements (more on those in a bit). There were some snags along the way that hindered it all, but I think it was worth the wait. It'll take a little time to get rolling again, but rest assured it won't be long till we are back full speed. In fact there are already some new sections in the works.
Some of the improvements to the site are:

Minor Updates updated 05.05.03 Tim
I apologize for the lack of updates of any kind from myself. There really is no excuse. I have made some minor changes. Mainly I have removed sections that aren't needed/updated anymore or links that are no longer valid. The Jars World 7th anniversary is coming up soon. Hopefully my surprise will be done by then.
