All the way back in 2003 the production of Min-Data UK v2 started, after Min-Data UK v1 never caught on. It was a big project, and as expected it took a long time to complete. After months of work, on the 2nd of May 2004, it was deemed to be sufficiently complete to go live, and then it slowly gained users. The first ever blog entry [blog.min-data.co.uk] was simple, but at least it worked.

Now, a year on, the day of Min-Data UK's first birthday, we are still going strong, getting more and more users as more features get added. In fact, as a celebration of this event, we have even more new features to add, including the ability to sort a blog into categories and the option of making it possible for only friends to view a blog entry.

I would like to thank everyone who has made it possible for Min-Data UK to last for so long, in particular all of you frequent visitors. Without you, I doubt we would have lasted 6 months.

Over the next year, I would like to see Min-Data UK continue to grow, but to do this, we need more users. The best way to get more users is through word of mouth, so please, go out there and get more people to sign up on MDUK.


Thanks for everything all of you have done, and if you find any bugs with the updates, don't hesitate to contact me.

There appears to be a problem with the server at the moment, with the server load being about 210 and imap has failed (apparently). Hopefully this will be fixed shortly.

Also, tomorrow (2nd of March) there will be some downtime due to site maintenance.

We apologise for any inconvenience any of this may cause.

I wanted to write a long blog entry, and the easiest way to do bits of it seemed to be to use lists. However, MDUK didnt have a list BB code thing, so I added it

[ul] <-- starts a list
[/ul] <-- ends a list

[li] <-- starts an item in the list
[/li] <-- ends an item in the list (not required)

So, for example:

[ul]
[li]hi[/li]
[li]I rock.
[/ul]

comes out as:

• hi


• I rock.
  

Minor bug with the alt text of links has been fixed. Some other stuff has unintentionally been added in the process
