I have made a new index page at http://www.chessvariants.org/index.php. It's in PHP, because it includes the interactive collage I mentioned previously. As you hover over any exposed part of a board, that board will come to the front, and you will be able to click a link to the page. I have created an array of boards for the page, but I made only enough to get the page working. I would like to add more boards and make a collage out of a random selection of them. That's where you can help. If you can provide the data I need in a form I can cut and paste into this page, it will help me add more boards to the collage, and the collage will become more representative of interests besides just mine. Each set of data should be in the form of a constructor for the cv class. Here is what I've done so far:

The constructor has three main parts. First is the game's name, then the game's URL, then one or more images. When there is more than one image, one will be chosen randomly when the page loads. To post your own constructors for other games, put them in a TEXTAREA, as I have done. The HTML code should look something like this, but without a space in the closing tag:

One more thing, keep the images thumbnail size. Full size diagram would be too big. The whole collage fits into about a 600x600 area, and this is subdivided into 9 zones to minimize overlapping.
