Re: [OT] What makes a good miniatures web site

Then take a look at how www.hlj.com handles currency conversions. All of
their pages are generated from a database and include a *link* to a
currency conversion site, that way anyone in the world can look up the
current price in their currency and you only need one link for the
conversion
to everything.

Actually, take a look at HLJ anyway, it's an excellent site.
