In the absence of FD (enjoying himself at uni I presume) I have updated the site for the last week or so and am back in the swing of things!

Or waiting for BT to activate the phone line, and then for Sky to activate the internet, which has meant that it's taken 5 weeks since I actually got back in Eastbourne for the internet to work in the house (plus an extra day or 2 because of the stupid timetable which meant I couldn't get a wireless adapter yesterday)

Internet is working now though, so I'll be able to start updating the site again, if having to do hours of shorthand practice a day, and playing Fifa 09 doesn't get in the way too much  

I am also willing to write articles to keep the homepage up to date. Obviously I'm out of the loop in comparison to you two [FD & Drew] so if you feel an article is needed then just post here and I can begin to get into a routine with you guys.

James if you state here what you intend to do first then folks can see. Do you have a particular interest in tennis you could do articles on ?

Also I will defo be doing more for the site.

Ok sure: Well I tend to lean towards Mens tennis with regards to interest so therefore would be able to do comprehensive Futures updates, weekly reports, ATP updates etc etc. However I would also like to think that I have a good enough grasp of Inglesh language to contribute any off-beat articles if the case arose - plus I also believe that I am objective in my writing, so wouldn't cause offence through obvious bias.

However I am also willing to lend a hand in writing articles of any other subject if it was required - although it looks like Wolf has the Women's side covered.

Can't find the relevant thread about the pictures at the top of the message board but would just like to make a request. I realise that the picture is likely to change for the Aus Open fairly soon but for the one that fills the gaps between major tournaments, is it possible to include Mel South in the line up, even at the expense of another player, as she has worked very hard to merit her GB no 2 player position but isn't yet recognised for this in the page heading.

Thanks.

One other thing - might it be worth changing the convention for writing anonymous articles for the home page to encouraging people to put their name (or nickname) on them. If peoples' contributions to the home page were more visible and they got the credit for them, it might just make more people willing to write them ... and it'd be interesting to see who's writing them too.

Alternatively, if nobody has time to add articles to the homepage, might it not be better to blank the articles section (i.e. months out of date looks worse than nothing at all) and just encourage people to go to the forum for the latest news instead?
