NextShooter.com completely overhauled
As an update to our readers, NextShooter.com has been completely overhauled with
a new, simpler design, a super-easy navigation system, and editing and formatting
for every single article on the site. If you haven’t visited NextShooter recently,
you’re in for a big, big surprise. (visit NextShooter.com
now)
NextShooter.com changes partners
The site redesign mentioned above is the work of Michael Bluejay, owner of
GamblingAds.com and VegasReference.com,
who recently replaced Cenicola-Helvin (Las Vegas, Nevada) as the Bone Man’s partner
in NextShooter. The change in partners was completely amicable, and allows C-H to
focus better on its primary business, developing and marketing its hosting and content
management systems. The Bone Man, founder and author of the site and craps dealer
on the world famous Las Vegas Strip, stated his many thanks to Mark Cenicola, President
and Jeff Helvin, Vice President of C/H for their many contributions to the growth
and visibility of the site from their initial agreement in 2002 to date.
