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.
