1/20/04 - The design of the Teddy Bear Funsite goes back to 1996 when we were on AOL. Websites were a new thing then and search engines were in their infancy. THINGS TO LEARN AND DO was a simple way to add content to our website by having links to other places on the web that we thought our visitors would find interesting. In looking over the design of the website we have today, we felt that THINGS TO LEARN AND DO no longer served a useful purpose. It was really nothing more than a link list, and that there are plenty of good search engines around to find anything your might be looking for.
So, we've decided to eliminate THINGS TO LEARN AND DO and focus, instead, on original content. One of the new areas we are adding to the FUNSTUFF section are puzzles. We have several different types of fun and educational interactive puzzles to publish and they'll be on-line in just a couple of days.
