It was a link... a hyperlink.... you know: those things you click on when you're browsing the Net. There's tons of them. The Net wouldn't exist without them. It's the oldest feature the Net has. Should be the easiest too... it isn't always though.
Being self-employed gets you around. So you get to see things. Here's a little story (non-fiction).
First, it had to be turned off (disappear from view and source-code). It took some searching how best to achieve this without actually having to really remove the link (it was to be turned off only temporarily). After approx. 1 hour search and phone-calls, some testing at two levels, a mistake by the system-admins, redoing the action, and one more test, the link was indeed no longer visible. At modern IT-rates, it took some 2 hours in total to turn it off...
...only to be turned on again 4 days later; it took another hour.
And all this because of a fantastic Content Management System. Aaah, the wonderful world of IT.
