News

June 2009 - This page is no longer updated. All our news now appears on our Blog pages.

July 2007 - Watch out for my latest book: The ECDL Student Workbook. This book will help people wishing to take the European Computer Driving License certification.

June 2007 - Paul & Gill just got married. I'll get Janice to add some more information here soon but in the meantime, you can view some of the wedding photos here www.webhostingforbeginnerz.com:- Wedding Album

May 2006 - We're about to move servers. Our hosting is about to expire and I'm sick and tired of complaining to our hosts about the amount of spam we get.

Our new hosts have some neat anti-spam techniques which seem to be working quite well for other sites, so we'll give it a go.

More News will follow; details of our holiday in Tsunami struck Thailand for instance, but my main concern right now is updating the rest of the site.

The site is being completely re-written using css (Cascading Style Sheets), and php.

This change will allow the site's look and feel to be modified in the future by simply changing one or two files.

Unfortunately, I first have to re-write all the pages so bear with me while I get it done.

If any of you are using broken browsers that won't display the drop down menu's correctly, you can find a navigation bar at the bottom of the page.

Helen and Mark got married back in 2004, so it's not really news anymore. Their wedding photos can now be viewed below.

Janice's daughter Helen and her new husband Mark married in June 2004. It was a wonderful day (and night!) and we thank everyone for making the day so special for them both.
 

 

 

 
Two years ago Mark was successfully transplanted with 2 new lungs as he suffers from Cystic Fibrosis.

They honeymooned in Sedgefield, London, Singapore and Thailand. Janice wasn't pleased as she has wanted to go to Thailand for ages. I now have to take her for our wedding anniversary and her birthday in Dec/Jan. Do you think I'll get away with hiding the credit cards?

I'm now busy with the production of 'Jack the Ripper' 2005 calendar and pleased to announce that it is now ready so order online www.ripperart.com

Janice is just as busy packing her suitcases ready for departure to Paphos on 9th September. She's only going for 10 weeks according to her! I get to visit in October for a month.

Finally I got Janice sat at the computer and she's added more recipes to the site. Look under 'Janice's Stuff' to see what delights she's added. Be warned she gets carried away with the addition of garlic.  This page contains some of the world's tastiest recipes.

Janice also has another venture as she is planning to do Bed and Breakfast in Konia, at our house. She tells me it will keep her busy and give her an interest while in Cyprus by herself. If you want to find out more then go to the Apartment page and there is a link from there.

I've just added several hundred popular song lyrics to our song lyrics pages.  Most of these include the guitar chords as played on the original songs as far as I can make it out.

Our Jokes pages are growing at an alarming rate.  We now have hundreds of the world's funniest jokes on the Jokes pages.  There are so many that I've had to categorise them to avoid having too many links on one page.  The search engines have a limit of 100 links per page, so any more than that and they won't get indexed.

Hi there,

I had an little problem where I would like to get an answer.

I am suppose to go to the Larnaca this month.
I booked the flights last week and unfortunally I booked flights Amsterdam-Istanbul-Ercan and back.

Later on I did hear that there may be problems to enter to the Cyprus from TRNC.

Is it illegal for me to go to the Larnaca for few days and if not, what is the easiest way to get from Ercan to the Larnaca?
I searched that there is busses going to the Nicosia green line.

I hold the EU passport.

Thank you for your answers.

My husband and I, along with our 17 & 15 year old are thinking of visiting Cyprus for the first time in October. We have thought about all inclusive as we thought it may prove cheper in the long run but can't seem to find any rooms that would accommodate 4 of us. Does anyone have any ideas? Alternatively, could anyone recommend a villa/apartment in this area, I've heard that Polis & Latchi are quite nice.
Also, whats the weather normally like in October?

Thanks

Hi everyone my first post on here, hope its as freindly as it looks.
My wife, her parents myself and our little 6 month old daughter (now) so add on as many months as appropriate for time of travel)) are seriously contemplating going to cyprus (paphos) early this year, we have considered as early as march but that depends on weather and wether theres much open then.

So my questions? firstly taking our little toddler, we are contientous of what we feed her in regards to much salt and sugar, and like to give her fresh ingredients if we can and of course is only just weaning at the moment so has anyone any experience of taking children this young, are there any concerns or tips to offer? secondly march, I know its not going to be blisteringly hot but is it a comfortable tempreture / sunny? and is everything open/ as available as it would be later on in the year?

depending on the response regarding time of year we might consider going about may time, I assume that would be warmer. Any info would be great thx. Karl.
