Mobile Tech Addicts on the move

26 05 2008

image Due to the great response we have had to the blog we have decided that the future lies with an out sourced hosted blog. We will soon be transferring all the content and domain name to a server and hopefully this will not cause any interuption. The RSS feed we have been assured will stay the same so no update will be needed but please if you don’t see any updates from us in 24 hours re-subscribe. The domain name will also be the same so hopefully this will be a smooth transition but will give us the opportunity to offer a much better visual experience in the future.

Thank you all for supporting the blog with your hits

See you all on the other side
