Site News:
As you can see I have given up on using PHPNuke and have gone back to the old site methodology I was using previously. I'm rather disappointed in the software but am just too tired of dealing with the hackers, etc who wouldn't leave the site alone. Also, since the closing of MSN's Groups where we were hosting the Summitt Research Group and the opening of the new Summitt Family Online site we just haven't had as many visitors on the sites nor as much discussion so I want to regenerate that. I'll be making lots of changes here and hope you'll let me know what you like or don't like. paul Family News:
