Re: PipingDesign.com Email

I'm compiling a list of all that are interested and I should have some news next week.

The guestbook is now (sort of) working, see <a href="http://users.cgiforme.com/pbowers/newguest.html">http://users.cgiforme.com/pbowers/newguest.html</a> (Main>New>Sign Guestbook). It's hosted elsewhere so there are a few pages to jump through and banner ads. Plus, on the "View Entries" page some of the text appears in white. Hopefully, the hosting company's tech support can rectify this (the text is auto-generated by a remote computer, not my site). I may eventually revert back to hosting it on my server, but for now I'm testing this alternative.

For those of you that deal with the media for your companies, remember that there is a press release page at the site. It's at <a href="http://www.pipingdesign.com/pressreleases.html">http://www.pipingdesign.com/pressreleases.html</a> (Main>New>Press Releases).

Site advertising rates have been revised as well, see <a href="http://www.pipingdesign.com/mediakit.html">http://www.pipingdesign.com/mediakit.html</a> (Main>Media Kit).

You might want to check out the two different Newsfeeds at the site, "Industry News" and "Project News", <a href="http://www.pipingdesign.com/industrynews.html">http://www.pipingdesign.com/industrynews.html</a> (Main>News>Industry News) and <a href="http://www.pipingdesign.com/newprojects.html">http://www.pipingdesign.com/newprojects.html</a> (Main>News>Project News).These feeds are updated regularly and feature headline links to piping-related stories in the media. Some of the stories are off-topic, since computers can't yet differentiate between bag pipes, smoking pipes and process pipes.

And don't forget the products section,
<a href="http://www.cafepress.com/pipingdesign">http://www.cafepress.com/pipingdesign</a> (Products>Merchandise) where you can purchase PipingDesign.com logo coffee mugs, mousepads and T-shirts online.

A weblog is also in the works...
