[Hidden-tech] Hidden Tech turns 23 on May 7!

[Michael Muller]

Happy birthday, Hidden Tech!

How has the mailing list helped me? Great tech support for some of my 
tech issues, and the ability to pass along projects to this community 
for someone else to pick up is very helpful. Your early involvement to 
make it happen and Rich's tireless volunteerism to keep it running are 
both very much appreciated. Hidden tech is an invaluable tool.

That said, I wish the website was better and more interactive. We are 
missing out on more opportunities. Where is the login link to update a 
listing? Also, it appears all the links in the footer are Rich's sites, 
and the copyright date says 2009.

The search results on this page are obviously way out of date; there 
should be an option to sort by */updatedDate desc/*; and the description 
text is way too small. It should also include the date added or updated 
so we know how old the listing is.

My 2c.
