# Couple of nice articles...

Got these from [ASP.NET](http://www.asp.net) - yes, I am well aware that everyone who reads this will have seen these there...it's really just to remind me!

Anyway, [great article](http://www.dotnetjunkies.com/Tutorial/95EBDB54-B8D2-4D33-9DC2-C246793A3A77.dcik) on  [DotnetJunkies](http://www.dotnetjunkies.com) about [Base Pages](http://www.dotnetjunkies.com/Tutorial/95EBDB54-B8D2-4D33-9DC2-C246793A3A77.dcik) - these are just incredibly useful when trying to build a web site which has common functionality between pages without using some sort of template system like [MasterPages](http://www.metabuilders.com/Tools/MasterPages.aspx). 

The second is an article on [WWWCoder](http://www.wwwcoder.com) on an [email tracking system](http://www.wwwcoder.com/main/parentid/271/site/2313/68/default.aspx) - which is really nice (and annoying, I just wrote this same functionality for a mail project I'm working on grr...). 

Anyway, that's it for now...better get back to work before I get fired...
