Google Earth / WWP - a follow-up

Hi,
we had a minor hiccup on GeoImages (my bad) where the placemark file would not
download, but open as a window full of garbled text instead (unless you used
"Download this link..." to force-save the file). That's fixed now. (for the
technically inclined: mime type for .kmz/.kml was unknown on GeoImages, since the
server predates Google Earth ;).
We also had a sorting order oddity with the Google Earth placemarks in the first
file, oddly enough affecting only the wwp1204 list entries. Also fixed, though i
don't know a) what caused it and b) what fixed it...
So, just in case you want to download the placemark file again, it should now work
as expected. ;)

And, if you're missing the visible target marker when using the new
fly-to-in-Google-Earth feature on the WWP - you *should* download the placemarks
file in the first place. :)
We did some cleaning up, too, and as a result you can also reach the homepage by using
http://geoimages.berkeley.edu/worldwidepanorama/
(contains the wwp-associated directories, it's a first step towards making a Google
Site search possible - any updated link that points to it helps ;)
Thanks to Don, Landis, and not the least of all, to Thomas who had/has lots of fun
checking 1700 placemarks :)
