Note: All changes listed here refer to pages within the original site located at http://members.aol.com/beardguy/. Following the January 20, 2005 move to beards.org, the original all about beards site on members.aol.com remained active and in place. On October 31, 2008, AOL shut down members.aol.com, taking with it the original all about beards site. The change log below remains here for historical reference, but all members.aol.com URLs are no longer valid because of the shutdown. The hyperlinks have been deactivated and the old URLs and page titles appear below in bold.
