Back Up and Running
Filed Under Admin Notes | Leave a Comment
Massive apologies for the extended break that the site has taken, but it is now back up and running again. Other work commitments (professional!) prevented me from achieving specifically what I wanted to as detailed in the last post i.e. the big planned changes. Some updates have been made, mostly behind the scenes to the sites structure. Version 1.5 is on the horizon though, I will keep you informed of the progress.
