Site Content
For anyone interested in posting content to CYTOPATHNET, please send me a message and I will make sure you have the right permissions assigned.
I have begun recreating much of the prior content out of the old site into a new format that is based on TikiWiki. I have posted most of the CLIA Forum articles that Sandra Fite, CT(ASCP) has contributed over the years. The idea behind CYTOPATHNET has always been to create an online community for collaboration and sharing of ideas. Tiki allows for this for the adventuresome in providing a way for users to work collectively on document creation, allow for posting of news articles, online forums, and user Blogs.
I wanted to thank everyone for their continued patience and support as I implement these upgrades. As you may or may not be aware, I maintain the site alone on top of a very demanding work schedule, which has definitely cut into my time that I can devote to CYTOPATHNET. That is why it is so very important that the CYTOPATHNET community GET ACTIVE and use CYTOPATHNET in the way it was intended. It needs your DIRECT INPUT! I want to thank Sandra Fite for her longtime dedication and support in providing articles and feedback on CLIA issues. This will certainly continue (unless I hear differently from Sandra
).
And THANK YOU to our users cytocox UserPagecytocox for their contribution of commentary!!!! WELCOME ABOARD!!!
