Hi Nikki! I came across these pages offering 299 Steps for free and inviting people to share the news with their networks etc. but THE day is well past [Aug 1st] so I wonder if these pages are out-of-date or if there is some ongoing arrangement about THIS or a new day to come to make the Twitter option relevant still. can you clarify for me please?

Google book is A1! – MANY thanks!
Until soon – Godfrey

This is a rather cunning way of getting the best out of Twitter’s 140 character limit. Brilliant. Rgds Vince
