KevinsCrate to go on Hiatus

Feb 092008

As you have probably noticed my postings on KevinsCreate has slowed way down, I’m having to put in more hours at my job and I just don’t have the extra time to research anything for the site and still have a family life. So in order to not feel guilty about not posting anything I have decided to put both my sites on a brief Hiatus till early May. In the intervening months I’m planning a total site redesign and fresh new content, So keep me in your feeds and be on the lookout out for a relaunch in May. April.

Thanks for visiting KevinsCrate.
