Yana Updates August 20 2010 - August 24 2010

[Guest guest]

Sorry that there was another bump on the site access

front on Sunday when the site went down for about 10 hours – cause unknown.

Looks as if I’ll have to bite the bullet and move servers sooner rather

than later. I’ve got a lot on this week – friends visiting, medical

appointments and the end of the footy season coming up, so getting my

priorities right, there may be some delays in posting updates over the next ten

days or so. My apologies but………I’ll

do my best!
