Packt 2010 Open source awards

CMS Made Simple, the cms framework that Shareworld runs on, have been nominated for thePackt Open Source Awards, show your support by voting for cmsmadesimple.

Shareworld has been running since 2005 and it has changed considerably since its conception; see here for a picture time-line of Shareworld.

As I am sure you can tell our html skills were very limited when we started out and it is only thanks to the help of several people and service providers that we are still up and running.

Consequently I thought it would be fair to mention all those that have contributed to this site:

100Free.com

We first hosted Shareworld in 2005 for free with 100free.com.

1and1 Internet

1and1 have been hosting our site since 2006. We have had no problems at all with the service and despite the fact that there does seem to be some bad press related to 1and1, we would recommend it to anyone.
