1. If you are active in the area of glass mechanics, please join us by creating your own (free) "Office Live" Glass mechanics/fracture web site linked to ours:

1. Go to www.officelive.com

2. Click on: "Get Office Live Basics Free" (the Basic is completely FREE!)

3. Register YOUR domain name. This can be anything you want or can be a modification of this one, e.g. "http://glass-fracture-japan.org".

4. Once you have signed-up, follow the directions to create your site.

4. It is relatively straight-forward. However, I did have some problems and may be able to help if you have questions. Let me know.

5. Make sure you create links to this site.

WARNING! After setting all this up, I was told by the Microsoft people that in order to set up a site in English, even the free Basic one, a U.S. credit card is needed. I am still looking into this.

In the meantime if you are interested, please let me know. Also, if you have information about this issue or a solution, please let me know as well.

In response to the above, Satoshi Yoshida has set up a web site from Japan in English using his Japanese Master Card (http://glass-fracture-japan.org)

Claude Guillemet has set up a site using the French Office Live site (http://claude-guillemet.com) . These are both shown on the 'Links' page.

2. If you are not interested in creating an idependent web site, but are interested
in taking part, you may do either or both of the following:
a. provide me with a link to another web site of yours,
b. provide me with updates of things you are doing or other information for THIS SITE.

THANKS AND GOOD LUCK!
