I have finally got round to putting a Newsletter link on the website. If you wish to be kept updated of new goings on on this website then why not subscribe? Don’t worry, you won’t be inundated with emails and I won’t be giving your addresses to anyone else!

When I was looking at the site stats the other day I noticed that alot of the hits I was getting were from Germany, Spain and other countries.

If anyone is looking at this site in translated form I’d love to know how well the tranlsations come across. Just click on any of the flags in the left hand column and hey presto, the whole site is translated into a language of your choice!

I have taken many courses in my time but never been trained by video before. Over the Christmas period (Happy New Year by the way) that changed as I took the Exchange server 2003 course by Trainsignal. It has to be said that I was most impressed with both the course materials and the instructor.
