The Briles Information Network welcomes in 2012 with a bang! 2011 was a great year for the BIN as we provided continuous news and information for genealogy research!

2012 will bring exciting, new changes to the BIN web site to include policy and format changes. The BIN has added an image rotator to the top of the page below the date. The images will feature the latest news and stories on the site & highlight breaking news that the "news" scroller did, which has been removed! We hope the image rotator will be an accepted feature on the web site.

The second change centers around our policy and mission statement. In the past, the BIN has attempted to post every article on the main page and leave it there until the end of the year. Now, we will post all articles on the main page and BLOG, then after six months, it will be removed from the main page. This will free up space on the main page and allow a fresh, clean look to the site.

Third, all obituaries will be posted on the death notice page & message board. After six months, death notice page will be reset with a link to the message board. Again, this will free up space. And last, the BIN will update the databases once a month unless the decedent is a Briles, married to a Briles, or is related to a Briles within three generations. This change will allow the BIN to work on other features such as BIN Chronicles and the BIN Podcast!
