Want a link here? Have a resource everybody should know about?

The community useful stuff sidebar is for commonly accessed, highly recommended, and new resources that will be put into the resource library.

We are also considering a small sponsored link option. If you are interested please contact us or visit our advertising page.

Interested in moderating this community?

We are seeking an individual or individuals who would be interested in adding and maintaining useful content and facilitating discussions for the this community. If you are interested please post your interest to the community blog.

Post anything. Talk about work, life, or play. Get and give advice and tips. This is a trading post so feel free to promote yourself, projects, or your business (just don't spam!).

You need a SPOT to post new discussions on the community blog and comment on other people's posts.

Some folks call it a blog, a forum, or questions and answers. Trader Dan is old fashioned and thinks of it as folks talking and having a good time.

The only real rules are NO SPAM, don't be rude, and indicate if your post is NSFW. These things tend to peeve Trader Dan no end. Promoting yourself is okay if it is meaningful to the community, but limit yourself or you will be deleted. Controversy is okay, but hate, flaming, and jerks are not.
