Note for authors (and aspiring authors!)
Our email provider will not accept emails with .exe attachments, or .zips with .exe attachments, so we have added a new Article Submission Form allows you to send files directly to us with no restrictions on what you place in the files. Your submissions go directly into the posting queue, so no more waiting on us to check our email!
To update existing articles just click the "Update your article" link at the top right of your article and you can submit your updates directly online to an editor.
Our online submission wizard is always there if you wish to post your articles yourself, or, simply send us your articles and updates without .exe files, or be sneaky and send us your .exe files in .rar archives, or sneakier still and just rename your zips to, say, MyArticle.nozip. We'll
