Dear John

Thank you for your interest and questions. You asked -

>Do you have any funding

No the One Name Study is run entirely by me as a hobby. However, I have
from time to time received donations from HEDGES researchers which I have
used to purchase Wills etc. or the charges for hosting the website.

>Do you have access to

Yes, I have access to the company from whom I purchase the domain name and
host the site. The help I need is more the day to day updating of the
website. At the moment I am using Microsoft Office Front Page. Maybe there
is a more user-friendly package as I do seem to get myself in a muddle. Now
I have the basic website I am finding it difficult to add to it and make
changes.

Best wishes

Sue
