Kudos:

Italiabella has been one of the most frequent users of the Copy Review topic areas, and took a few extra minutes to express appreciation to the people who have been providing assistance:

I want also to express my deep gratitude and Christmas wishes to you guys and your loved one. After losing my job I decided to open my IT company as my main daytime job and also I will be opening the second club at night in January as side job. I have a lot on my plate, working 7 days a week, non stop, but as long as I love it I can handle it.

Without your help I wouldn’t be able to convey my line of thoughts to people. Therefore, thank so much form the deepest of my hear for supporting me in all my communication to people…

I woke up Thinking that I am a very lucky person. The reason is that in my life I have always been surrounded by amazing people like you that are always there to help me. These people/friends are the reason of my courage and success. Even when I am jobless and alone they gave me the strength to accomplish amazing things… Merry Christmas to you too.

Ever wondered if Experts Exchange’s Hire Me feature works? joewinograd will tell you it does. His article on renaming PDF files attracted the attention of doctordigital, whose first time on the site was reading the article. He then hired Joe for a customized solution to the problem.

robrodp was having major issues with his email system disconnecting, and padas came to his rescue:

An expert is well… an expert. Thx Scott and Experts Exchange of course. You are worth every penny.

Wow, really fantastic! And in that case, has knockout some opions to apply fade effect, or show elements one at once see my page after your fix: the each function shows the divs sequentially and I like the ffect (and I’m sure my client will like it too).
