He's been helping behind the scenes for a long time now, but I'd like to officially welcome aboard Chris Edwards as Webmaster for Pocket PC Thoughts. Way back in the day, I used to be able to run a web site and spit out some decent code. But as sites become more dynamic, the bar for coding rises - and let's just say that I exceeded my reach many months ago. Chris brings a powerful grasp of PHP to the table, and he's saved me on more than one occasion when my execution of HTML code was a little less than stellar. <img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif" /><br /><br />Chris will be a vital part of our team as we grow the site in new ways - we are close, oh so very close, to having both a new desktop template for the site and a mobile version. I'll talk more about this later, but the goal for both versions is to give you the best experience possible given the factors involved with each scenario. I just calculated today that the full version of my site as a Mazingo channel was 3240 KB - I'm surprised I haven't received more flames about this, but it clearly points out the need for a dedicated mobile version.<br /><br />So please, put your virtual hands together, and give Mr. Chris Edwards a big round of applause - he's helped make this site what it is today.

Welcome aboard Chris, we sure were in need of someone who could do what you can. I'm looking forward to see the things you have up your sleeves.

And so, Mr. Dunn...at last the truth. Isn't it true, that Chris is actually the brains behind the entire site? Marlof, Andy, Ed, Jeff, Brad, Sam...they are all just pseudonyms for Chris. I know...you're saying, "But, Jeff, you've MET some of these guys!" Sure, Jason, but how do I know that even YOU aren't a hired actor? Hmmm?

Yes, folks, I think Chris Edwards actually does the whole thing.

Okay, I'm really kidding! Most of those guys are real, I think. :D

But Chris is one brilliant guy who I've had the pleasure to meet as well, and I wish him and "the CNN of the Pocket PC world" much success!!!

Chris is cool. He's helped out on my site on quite a few occasions, too.
