Just a few tips on the web mastering of this site...
It was originally created using MSword on Windows95. All wallpaper, most of the FONTing and references to Microsoft were then removed using Notepad and the site launched using DOS FTP with 8.3 file names. After several months the text was put through Netscape composer, using WordPad for the trivial edits, and the site was relaunched as a frame with a proper name via http://www.justthename.com using cuteftp and long file names. Self Promotion was then used to advertise the site.
If you have a website, you absolutely have to check out this
amazing, wonderful, incredible resource. You can use it for free to
register your site with all the important search engines and indexes,

The news now (effective November 2001) is that NTL are ditching Cable and Wireless indirect customers, and this includes this site and my cwcom account. If you wish to re-find me try my village web site. This site may not be the right place to be! Poor NTL, as is common with a lot of ISPs they have bad cash problems.
