whychristmas.com server move

Saturday, 15th November 2008

Hi Everyone,

This is a quick post to apologise for the downtime on the site yesterday (from about 2pm - 9pm GMT / 9am - 2pm EST).

This was due to the site being moved onto a shiney new server for the ‘Christmas rush’! However, as oftent he case with computers, there were a few teething issues!

Everything’s back and up and running and should be faster than ever!

So again I’m sorry about this and I hope you didn’t miss the site too much ;)

whychristmas new look!

Monday, 18th August 2008

well sort of…

The site has had a bit of a refresh with a bit more modern look and some pages (like the Christmas Recipes) are now easier to get to.

There’s an improved ’share this’ function on all the pages and the five latest blog posts are now listed on the home page.

I’ve love to know what you think, so either leave a comment or you can contact me using the form.

Keep an eye on the site and blog as there should be some more pages and fun stuff coming soon!
