SCN: websites to feature

[patrick]

Everyone,

I have some sites ready to profile on the homepage, but there is another
procedure for getting the index.html file modified. I just found this out. I
thought that I could simply ftp the index.html file up and get it going.

I have to work on the homepage this weekend as I have some 15 hour work days
coming the next three days, so I have to wait until Saturday or Sunday.

Rest assured, the sites will be featured. And very soon.

Patrick
