If you are reading this you are seeing proof that technology works and it isn’t exclusively for those well versed in the inner workings of web pages and the internet.  No, it can be learned and the learning curve isn’t so steep to prevent an average Joe from grasping what is necessary.  I have been going through a intense learning curve with this site and I have not done it alone.

Too many times we either choose not to say thank you or we wait until it is too late.  I have thought about this a lot lately and I’m trying to do my best to say thank you to those who have done something, anything, to help me.

If you look on the right side of the page, under Featured Sites, you will find a link to all three of the sites I’m about to talk about.

Dreamcatcher (click here)

When I started to network with some people on the internet I noticed that many people are just trying to sell something.  Specifically, there is a huge market for selling the knowledge for selling something.  Yes, that wasn’t a typo.  People make a lot of money online teaching people how to market to others how to make money.  It is rather sickening really and a side of this thing I don’t really like.

I wanted to find someone to talk to, a real person, and I ran across the Dreamcatcher blog one day.  Tyna runs the site and she is a positive person.  If you want to read about positive aspects of life and thoughts/actions to always move in a positive direction, her blog is worth reading.  Tyna helped me a lot by pointing me in the right direction, giving advice and being there.  Thanks Tyna.

Webmaster’s Edge (click here)

This is really unbelievable, but Bradford over at the Webmaster’s Edge has helped me for free!  Actually, that is his niche and he should be commended for it.  In a world where everyone wants to get paid for virtually everything, he is willing to pass on his knowledge at no charge.  What he does is he turns questions into content for his site.  Really, many more people should thank him because this information is out there for anyone to learn from.

This site went through a small overhaul and Bradford deserves a lot of credit for the results.

The Blog Reviewer (click here)

Constructive criticism and free advertisement.  The Blog Reviewer reviewed our site and the results were appreciated.  No, the total review wasn’t positive, but that is OK.  What the review did was provoke change.  The Webmaster’s  Edge was my indoctrination to learning what is going on under the hood and the Blog Reviewer forced me to take action.

All three of the previously mentioned sites/people have played an integral part in the maturation of this site.  For that I say thank you.
