It is with regret that I have taken the decision to close WebDevTips and DropMenu. Finding the time to update the site is almost impossible as I have a full time job which isn't in the web industry which means my knowledge is not as current as it needs to be to maintain a site of this nature.
The site first appeared as Andys Stuff in 1998 and became WebDevTips in 2001 and reached its highest ranking/popularity around 2005-2007. The site recieved great reviews and testimonials from all over the world, regularly getting mentions in online industry magazines.
This is not the end of my web presence as I am currently working on a new project, that, once built will maintain itself, so stay tuned :) I would like to thank everyone who supported me and the site over the years especially those who tested and retested all my scripts to make sure they were stable. 99% of the scripts I wrote years ago still work today on browsers that didn't even exist.
The last 12 years has seen some major changes. I am now surfing the web on a 10mb permanent broadband connection. When I first started all I could afford was a 14.4k dialup modem which took an average of about 10 minutes to download 1mb. Google wasn't born properly yet, Altavista and Yahoo! where the search engines of choice until Google appeared.
Pc's cost a fortune. My fist pc was £1100 and it was rubbish compared to what you get now. All it had was 64mb ram and a 10gb hard drive which had to be split into 2 partition as windows couldn't see anything over 8gb ahh those where the days.
Well enough of living in the past... the future lies just ahead and I'm ready to jump on :)
Thanks again for all your support, see you all soon...
