=== INTERNAL:
* Updates page -> Headlines page:  http://www.satcodx.com/updates.html
  As you may have seen, the Update page hasn't been updated the last
  month. On 1 November, a "Headline page" replaced that "Update page".
  The Headline page will contain the same headlines as in the Daily
  SATCO DX Update mails, which means it will cover not only satellite
  charts updates, but even satellite launch news and some internal info.
  Scheduled interruptions/delays in updates will also be mentioned there.

* SATCO DX has now passed 500.000 counted visitors since the start
  in 16 December 1995, less than two years ago.

* October was an even better month than September, with an
  increase in visits at the web site with about 30%!
