As I indicated on an earlier post, I’ve had help creating and running yours2share from a huge variety of sources. Over the last couple of days I’ve been using two websites that I’ve come to rely on for entirely different types of support.
The first is Sitepoint which is an enormous forum for webmasters and anyone building a website. I’ve had endless help from here, finding freelancers on their marketplace, reviewing yours2share, researching software, and just finding answers to those endless pesky issues that continually crop up. There are several big websites like this, but what marks Sitepoint as different is the attitude of the experienced experts that answer your pleas for help. I’ve only had really good constructive advice, even if I later realise I was asking a rather daft question. Some sites can be downright nasty to people who are still learning about the web.
The second website I visit regularly for useful tips and a dollop of helpful optimism is Enterprise Nation. This a support website for home workers. Every time I visit I find something helpful, today I learnt how to add the link to Facebook that you’ll see on the blog below.
As I finish writing this, I realise that the reason I think of these websites together is that they are both kind and generous, something that isn’t as common on the web as it should be.
