| Editorial Decemeber 20th, 2002 |
G'Day Sizzlers!
No matter what your religion or spiritual beliefs this is the time of
year that thoughts turn to family and friends. At Sausage the staff
Christmas party is happening this Friday, which is a great time to
bring all of our staff, families and friends together to celebrate
the holidays. I however am stuck here in the USA, although I am lucky
enough to have my parents and sister with us for Christmas. Before I
get sidetracked to much let me get to the point!
The team at Sausage would like to wish all our customers, both new
and old, a joyous and safe holiday season and a prosperous new year.
May you all have a great time with your nearest and dearest!
Just in time for last minute Christmas shoppers we have two great
deals and one new service to get you building and naming your Web
site!
Firstly we have just launched Sausage Domains. This new service will
give you everything you need to manage your domain names, and buy new
ones at a low cost. Transfers are only US$9.95 (and add a year to
your registration) and new registrations and renewals are US$14.95 a
year. I have put a full explanation of our services down in an
article so read on if your interested. If you already want to check
out the site go to:

Secondly we have some amazing bundle deals for you. We have put
together version 2.0 of the Graphics Tool Kit, we have keep Boomer
4.0 and Image Lab1.01 in it and added Gif2Swf 2.1 and Flash Image
Builder 3.2. Plus for a short time only you get them all delivered on
a CD for only US$49.95. Could it get better? Yes it can! The CD
includes a trial version of HotDog Professional 6.6! Perfect for
those of you who already own HotDog and want it on a CD. To round it
off there are multimedia tutorials that will help you learn how to
make the most of Boomer and a 25% coupon for Sausage Hosting!
If you do not already own HotDog Professional 6.6 for another US$50
we will provide you with a registration key for this too. That means
for US$99.95 you are getting everything you will ever need for your
web site! To make this deal sweeter we will include a 50% off coupon
for Sausage Hosting.
Now wouldn't this be the perfect last minute gift for someone, or
even yourself! Check it out at:

On to this issue! As I said I have included a lot of information on
Sausage Domains, so there are only a couple of Sizzler Spotlights to
round out this issue. Read, enjoy and then get back to you holiday
shopping!
Once again have a safe and happy holiday season!
Keep on sizzling!

Helping a newbie with frames
I really love it when I see our members helping other newer less
experienced members with their web coding issues.
In this short thread Giancarlo helped a newbie with a frames issue. I
would just add that frames aren't always the best way to go when
designing a web site. There are variety of reasons why not, but
foremost in my mind is that framed sites are not indexed well by the
search engines.
Take a peak at the thread here:

Mentoring Newbies!
A new member of our forums, 'Hackbridge' has put himself out on a
limb and asked for a mentor to help him learn HotDog and build
himself a web site. 'TheMissingElf' was nice enough to explain that
this is what our forums are all about! Helping and pointing people in
the right direction!
So if you too need some help do not hesitate to ask your questions on
our forums.
