welcome to the SOT (Special Operations Translator)...
here you will find help on the topics found around the web site...
the home page is designed to be a personal portal for you to your favourite places on the internet...
it provides basic functionality with regards to collecting information such as news, weather and links to your horroscope...
you will also find links to two of my favourite search engines (please feel free to suggest others that prove useful)...
in order to start using the site, you will need to create a 'Profile'...
creating a profile will give you the ability to customise the way you use the site, what you see on your home page and allow you to start creating your own personal links...
use the personal links to store your favourite pages, then when you are away from your own computer you can always logon and get to your links instantly...
please be assured that no emails or information is passed to other parties, this site is solely for personal use...
we welcome comments on how to improve the site...see the home page for details...
once you have created a 'Profile' you can add new links to be shown on the home page...
enter the name that you would like to be displayed for the site (hint: the home page displays the pages by this name in alphabetical order- use subjects to group sites such as 'banking- my bank.com' and 'banking- my other bank name')...
enter the url of the site including the http:// part, for example http://www.mybank.com...
click on the add link button...you will see this link appear on your home page...you can add as many links to the page as you want...
when links are displayed on the home page you are given options to update and delete them...
you can add a link wherever you are in the site so long as you are currently logged on...
we hope to provide internet coding samples, games, screensavers...basically anything that we find interesting that we have done over the past few years!
we hope to include facts and interesting items that helped us move to the usa...things that we found difficult and how planning can make the transition a little easier...
this area will be constantly updated with things that we have found interesting, difficult or generally different to the 'British' way of doing things!
upon request of my wife, Michaela, I added this functionality...
use this to produce monthly/ annual calendars for reference - we even let you choose the start of the week (i.e. sunday or monday)
new functionality allows registered users to add appointments to the calendar making this a free online appointment scheduler...
we hope to add more options to this over time (such as re-occuring appointments/ conflicts etc.)... keep checking over the next few months!
this section has more information about us and what we have been doing in the usa...
we hope to put pictures and details of our excursions and what (as outsiders) we find interesting in our time in this country...
there are pictures of our trips that you are welcome to check out...
we will be updating this section as often as we can...
whenever anything special happens in our 'lifes journey' we will endeavour to let you know about it...
as you can appreciate there are so many things that happen when you move country...in our case from the united kingdom to the united states of america...
check back for all the latest gossip...
here you can see how the site has developed...
you can change the counter type that is displayed on the welcome page for other users..
it shows the current number of people that have been to the site since it's launch...
there is also some other basic information about the site as well as the revisions (or versions) that have been released...
we have included this so you can see that the site is run as a private, personal site...
stay tuned, we have introduced wap to the site
the instructions for using the functions are shown here
we hope that you enjoy the site...
