Shifting the Layout A Bit, Blog Content and Friend Codes

You'll probably have noticed I've moved and changed a few things on the blog today and it's all temporary until I get round to building my new theme. I've already sketched out the designs but the problem is the graphics and coding work involved. Some of the ideas I'm not sure how to appraoch yet and will require some research. It will all...


Microsoft Products, Maximum Number of Activation Times
