    Thanks for the updated link Colin. Wdevs should have done redirects before going down.

    I don't think that was an option. Michael Butler who was running it has apparently had some health issues and the site hadn't been maintained for some time. It came as much as surprise to me as anyone else. However, I've not been involved with WDevs since Michael took it over.

      A shame, I hope Michael is feeling better.

        Yes, but can you blame them for doing so if that's the only legal way they can hire programmers they want at the rate they can afford?

          Do you just mimick what ever someone already said before you? The page is clearly a parking page. The site it is supposed to go to no longer exists.

                      Yey, thinking I'd lost all my blogs off WDevs, I remembered that I've been using SauceReader for a while for blogging, a quick hack around it's data files uncovers all my blog postings :jig: Now just need a new blog site :cool:

                          Google Reader can still show your blog posts back to Oct 7, 2005. You can see all posts on one page there (if you scroll down, it'll load the older posts with AJAX). Maybe its easier to grab from there than to click through Google's web cache.

                                With respect, I must disagree. A quick look at middle management in just about any corporation shows that the dodo not only survived, it's reproducing in record numbers. Christopher Duncan
