Hi Graham Sorry about the

Hi Graham

Sorry about the links, thanks for letting us know we will look into it asap. Also will explore the anti-spam thing, not sure why you're having to do that.

We are currently building a different REconomy webspace using wordpress as we are finding this one doesn't give us what we need (it's too locked to the overall TN website functionality and structure, but worth a go we thought!).

More info to follow soon.... should be ready mid October. Meanwhile we will continue to post news items here.

Cheers Fiona
