XP-Tips Forum Has Now Been Closed

Unfortunately, the time I have to spend on the XP-Tips website is quite limited due to a range of other commitments. Therefore, I have decided to close the Forum so that I can concentrate my available time on the main XP-Tips website.

However, you can still contact me via the Contact Form on the XP-Tips site. Or you can add comments in this blog.

Thanks to all who took part in the forum.

XP-Tips Now Has Page Rank

I was quite pleased that the XP-Tips site gained a Google Page Rank of 4 during the last update. I got PR sooner than I thought!

Yes, I realize that this will be of close to zero interest to many web surfers..lol. However, a lot of webmaster type people like me take such matters seriously....probably far too seriously (grin).
