A quick update on the Children's Center pages. We have completed 3 of the 4 main categories in this section. Cooking for kids just went the way of the dodo, instead we felt that we should keep with the web and technology theme of Silvergateway and we are building a section that will allow youngsters to build there own website. We are also considering making a contest out of this section. Keep an eye on the Community Section of Silvergateway.com for updates on this.
We hope you enjoy this section of Silvergateway.com, we are always keen to hear back from our visitors and want to improve this site for you. Contact us and let us know what you think so far, and give us any ideas suggestions of things you would like to see added to this area of Silvergateway.com.
