I have now - at last! - managed to get the 'upload' page sending me an email when someone uploads an item!
The delay was because I needed to ask others to sort this out and I didn't know the cause of the problem. I do build the site content, but the server and its active controls are run by others. It took a few tries at getting them to spot and fix the problem which I wasn't able to diagnose.
I'm currently in the middle of writing another part of my 'biog' - prompted by:
A) someone doing a nice set of pages which quote some of what I already have done (1)
B) Been asked to write about this for a campaign to get people into science who have 'difficult' backgrounds.
But I will resume adding material asap.
(1) if anyone is interested, this is at
www.tonymmmak.com/angellane and shows what the area where I grew up now looks like - having had all but one of the buildings demolished, and even some of those new buildings demolished! Again, if interested you can find some photos of what it was like here
