Success breeds new challenges and yes, even further expansion.
The November 27 issue of PELINKS4U saw new highs of average visits
per day and total number of visits in one day (1428). With
the increasing readership, we at PELINKS4U continue to work to provide
information that will meet all of our readers' needs. This
week we add our Secondary
and
Technology
section bringing the total number of sections to seven.
As you can see from the menu bar above, this means that we
have completed our goal of providing sections in each of the seven
areas. In the near future, look for expansion of the site.
Not in new sections but in new components of each section.
One effort is currently being detailed so that Section Editors will
be able to meet the needs of our readership with current articles
and research online. Section Editors will begin reviewing
articles submitted by professionals in the field within the next
month. So, if you have a manuscript that you would like to
share with other professionals through PELINKS4U, contact us regarding
submission guidelines.
As always, our ability to produce this resource depends on
your support. Please tell your colleagues about PELINKS4U and check
out the sites of the folks who sponsor this site.
