A new supporter has stepped forward to help support evolt.org.

To assist us in defraying our operating costs, NetWorth Enterprises, Inc. is offering an affiliate hosting program to evolt.org members.

For every member who chooses to host one or more web sites with NetWorth's hosting service, evolt.org will receive 10% of the monthly hosting fee.

If you're looking for a hosting company, please consider NetWorth's hosting service. NetWorth will be changing the name and enhancing services, but in the meantime, the temporary domain (ez-profits.com) will help evolt.org right now.

If you want to know more about the connection between NetWorth and evolt.org, please read this explanation.

Burhan Khalid

I recently attended the Region 3 AITP Conference in San Antonio. This is a conference where student chapters (like mine) -- go and compete against other universities. Last year, I won second place is website design (thanks to thelist for making me wanting to learn more about web "design" as opposed to web "coding"). This year, I got honorable mention in C++. The contest was held on the 1st (of November).
