PermaLink Site FAQ - Issue 4

Superseded - see the FAQ category for the most up to date version.



To make things a little easier for people coming here for the first time, I have updated my brief list of posts which readers may find helpful. Regular readers (and anyone else for that matter) may wish to point out any useful items I may inadvertently have omitted (just post a comment).

Innovation: This list is getting long, so I have attempted to indicate the more generally useful posts by means of a star rating like so: *****

Post a comment if you like it, don't like it or disagree with any of the ratings.

Fantastic. I realize it took some time to compile and rank your material. I'll be sure to point this doc out to all the admins with whom I work.

Cheers!
