Sourcery Central is no more
Sorry dear readers, but Linda and I decided earlier this week to discontinue Sourcery Central here on our site. It didn’t look like the page was getting a lot of hits, and unfortunately, updating it was a big hassle. (WordPress is great, but sometimes the hand-formatting of text drive us to madness.)

It definitely needs a dedicated blog/site, and I really hope our favorite Renegades resurrect it. Sourcery seems like a site that could actually put contextual advertising to good use, since people looking for sources on particular subjects would actually *want* to see products and other sites dealing with those subjects.

Linda and I have talked about adding a bulletin board to the site — maybe that’s where we could resurrect Sourcery. At the moment, though, we’ve got a million other things on our lists, so the bulletin board will have to wait.

and I know what you mean about Wordpress - I spent an hour or 2 cursing it yesterday, trying to create a Resume section for myself, which only partially worked!! x

I can’t swear I won’t have to stare at the code for a bit to see what you have going on, but…just a thought.
