Michael, FYI, since you are not a developer, these sites are written in php using a specific platform/CMS, and therefore of interest to some members of this group.
A press release is not a public document and is not published on Fairfax websites etc. Journalists receive thousands of such media releases and like the hard men and women that they are, learn to be personally selective about which ones they read. So, whether man or woman, Michael, harden up. This was of interest to me and I did not consider it to be advertising any more than any press release is. A press release is news. Well done to Berend and Dave. On Oct 28, 2:50 pm, Michael <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:33:21 Vivian Chandra wrote: > > > Wow!
