Ext.Net - GridPanel columns summary plugin (without Grouping)

People using ExtJs/Ext.Net/Coolite might be aware of the GroupingSummary plugin, for the GridPanel that allows you to group GridPanel rows on a particular field, and then display columns summaries for each set of grouped rows independently (see here and here for ExtJs & Ext.Net/Coolite examples respectively).

Hosting PHP 5 sites on MediaTemple

After recommendation by my brother to try MediaTemple as a Hosting Provider, I moved one of my client websites (based on WordPress) to MediaTemple last month.
