RETIREMENT DATE FOR GOOGLE MAPS API V2
Google has re-set the expiry date for its google maps to November 19 2013.
On that date, Google will attempt to automagically turn remaining v2 maps into v3 maps, by way of a JavaScript wrapper we will deploy. We expect this wrapper to work for most simple maps, but to avoid any last minute surprises Google strongly encourage sites to complete their migration to v3 ahead of this date. Google have prepared an upgrade guide to help make the migration process as painless as possible
UNBLOCKABLE POPUPS AND CATFISH ADS (August 2012)
Calco have launched a visitor friendly series of advertising modules. High visibility panels or graphics slide on to the screen and settle in unobtrusive but visible locations. Ideal for COOKIE LAW messages, general advertising and alerts. The popups use special DHTML code to avoid being blocked by pop-up blocking software. Whats a catfish ad ... its one that sits quietly on the bottom of the page.

A set of pre built applications will be available to peruse. As a friend in the US drawled recently:- "Wordpress? It's a no brainer, and real easy to install and use."
1-click-installs
See our page about 1-click-installs if you dont know what they are.

Wordpress Extend
Calco has taken this paradigm one step further and will be offering ready built templates to slide directly into Wordpress, allowing the application not only to run as a traditional Wordpress Blog, but also as static and dynamic pages interacting with a data source. This is the ideal framework for lists of items such as a collection of cars, properties, books etc Call 01599 534964 now for pricing and details.
