Hi all.
I did intend to put an ad on the forum since day one but I did not know how to do it,
This one advert will pay for the running of the forum and also ensure my kids will keep up with the hostgator and domain registration bills to keep the forum running if anything should happen to me as I intend to be spending a lot of time at sea very soon.
So today I met up with Winston, he is a down on his luck and out of work php computer programmer that also lives here in the marina and he installed the ad code and removed the now defunct link to the auction site from the top of every forum page.
Then we tested the forum on his computer, went to the home page, an ad appears, its from a very local computer company desperately looking for a programmer, So I got my first click and Winston is filling out his job application.
