Der Be Sum Changes
Weds 1st Jan 2003

I am in the process of a massive clean up on the web server / space that i'm using, So for the next few weeks the site will be going through some changes as well as all the other JOKweb sites that used the same server. Most of the changes will be for the good, As due to the massive workload required to maintain this and the other 16 sites I run, I am trying to develop a quicker and easier way to maintain and update each of them. If anyone in the ARRAS who has an interest in web design and would like to help me update the site then email me at shaman_au@hotmail.com

Thanks.
