List Of Continents And Countries

Whilst developing a new publishing site, I thought I’d need a list of continents and countries to put in the mysql database that runs the publishing site to help locate people.

I researched the Internet for a while but did not find what I wanted until a few days ago whilst looking at a site for a totally different reason and came acrtossa list of continents and sub-countries by accident.

WordPress 2.8.2 to 2.8.4 Upgrade

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009
