You'll need to visit this page <a href="http://okehampton.mail.everyone.net/email/scripts/loginuser.pl">http://okehampton.mail.everyone.net/email/scripts/loginuser.pl</a> to access your account. <br /><br />Is it time for an upgrade? For my personal email I'm now using Google Mail see <a href="http://mail.google.com">http://mail.google.com</a> but Google also offer a free service for domains such as Okehampton.com. See <a href="https://www.google.com/a/">https://www.google.com/a/</a> for details.

Each time I use it myself I vow to give it a facelift, but there's always something more urgent to do. So I've decided to take drastic action and remove it from the web completely! Now you get this blog instead.<br /><br />As the web has changed so much over the last few years I really wonder whether a local directory is needed today. Though I intent to provide most of the content of the old directory in some form, at least for a while. Other than that, what might be useful?<br /><br />Please add comments with your thoughts.<br /><br /><br />Michael<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6265154908547875367-4995072624364234816?l=okehampton-net.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Michael Saunbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00899702935992577808noreply@blogger.com2
