On July 11, 2001, Craig Marcott, the owner of the Romantic Dancing site at www.romanticdancing.com shut down his site due to inadequate book sales. Working with Craig on the site has been a most enjoyable experience in all regards. We are sad to see his site close down.

Since the site has been very popular with those who have seen it, we approached Craig about still displaying it on Mammoth Sites as a demonstration site. We are grateful to him for permission to continue to make the site available to people.

When the site was in full operation, it was a rare combination of art and engineering, providing:

• online sales of books
• dynamic submission of dancing stories and views
  • visitors could submit dancing stories or views on questions to Craig
  • Craig would review these items in a special password-protected administrative area of the site. He could edit them, add comments to them, and then post them to an area of the site only he could see. When he was happy with them, he could post them back to the public section of the site for site visitors to enjoy, all without knowing HTML

Everything in the demonstration site is operational, as it was before with two exceptions:

• You can't post stories and views on questions to the site, or do anything involving a database, because the site no longer references Craig's database. This means pages like dancing Stories, views on Dancing, and order the Book and their subordinate pages no longer operate on a database as they used to.
• You can't order books over the internet, that is, the ecommerce for the site is no longer in operation.

Note: Any text added to the demonstration site appears in gray to differentiate it from the original site.
