March 30, 2007:
I have added the 3 entries to the banner logo contest that have been submitted so far. Visit www.an8search.com/contest.php for the contest rules, and to see the images submitted so far.

March 16, 2007: PLEASE READ:
I made a statement here about the submition of links to main sites and only main sites not being valid. However, I have decided that I am changing my mind on this. Functionality will be implimented in the future for a "link" page. And that will have just links to outside resources, AND main pages that you all think should be up. For NOW I do not have that functionality yet built, so please feel free to add them if you wish to the An8 Helper "Programs" section. And I will move them all to the links page when I get this section up.

Thank you for sticking with me while I work out some of these details, and for adding your links.

Editing an Entry:
Also, I will edit entries if you make a mistake, so please email sage@an8search.com if you need me to make edits, until I actually get a chance to get the edit button working.

Until I build the functions for EDITING an entry emailing me is the best way to fix a mistake.

The Next Update:
This tuesday March 20, 2007, I will be leaving on a short 1 week vacation. Even though I will have my computer with me, I do not anticipate being near a connection for more than a couple of minutes a day, to answer emails.
If I do any work on the site during this time, updates will be added after I get back on the 26th.
Because it is a vacation, I may not do any work on the site, but, I WILL have created the EDIT page, by the 1st of April.
