(it's a rethorical question. don't answer that.) problem is, i have in the past handed over websites to employees that had just been told that from now on they'll be responsible for the company's website. all i can say is, hmmm, ok, if that is how important the internet is for your business, fine! in my own place of work right now i'm appalled how little co- operation is happening between the personnel that has been designated web designers and how little consistency and centralized decision making re. the representation of the university on the web there is. they're allegedly working on it... but that's a whole other issue. i *really* need to do some work now... :) iris ******************************* Iris Manhold Web Development - DEMOS Project <http://www.demos.ac.uk/> <mailto:[log in to unmask]> 0161 247 3378 *******************************
