Two more 'How-To' Techniques added:

Dateline: 25th March 2007
I've added a 'Donation' facility to my website on the 'Homepage'.

Many people have asked why I do all of this work for free? They also ask if they can support the site to ensure its continuity and expansion.

Well, yes, it does take time and effort and so far as I'm concerned it's great that people find the information of use and help. Of course it does cost something to keep the whole thing going - web space, hosting, network facilities, glitch sorting, beta testing, service charges and a host of other 'costs' (not to metion time and effort).

So you would like to make a contribution to the maintenance and future of this site, the 'Donation Button' is the way to do it - and my grateful thanks.

For ease, you should ensure that the 'Bookmark' / 'Favourite' for my site is:
