;newWindow.focus())
As usual, I'll still be here, in a darkened room, staring at a computer screen. So, if you want to tinker with your website while everybody else is collecting Easter eggs from snow bound hiding places, you can still call me, or email or text, or just update your site, knowing 'big brother' is still watching you.Here's an email thread between me and a Head which made me think that not everybody realises that I'm here all the time:

Hi Steve
How are you?
Are you working over the Easter holidays at all? I intend to spend some time on the website and may need help if you are working. I wanted to add a page to the site structure entitled ECO News and another entitled assemblies and worship. I would then post photographs of such events to those pages. I may need a reminder of how to post something to a page other than the home page.
Hi Helen,
Sure, I'll be stuck inside as usual during your holidays :-)
Welcome to call me, as usual :-)
You may want to think of creating a category/folder/directory for these. Thus, you may have more pages inside worship. In this case you could email lots of photographs to a page inside worship. Something like:
/worship/goodSinging
/worship/easter2008
/worship/harvestFestival2008
And so on.
I think this would be better for you, in the longer run. As usual, you'd merely email stuff in the rest would be handled automatically.
Your email subject line may read at its most minimum (it could get more interesting):
Good singing [news item story] [[[worship]]]
You may want to add [pending] to the subject line, so that the associated news item is held in the pending area.
You may want to add [[Notices Head's Letters]] or some other department so as to categorise the associated news item into a department (or you can edit it, later).
Also add [nc] for no captions.
And [h149] to the very front of your subject line (all size info has to go at the front) so as to make all the portraits the same size as the landscapes. Just makes for a neater look.
Of course, as is usual, if you're unsure, nervous or confused, call me :-)
Steve
