An invaluable place to find the tools we need to find anything on the site, use to improve ourselves, or just to "shop". "The Shameless "Plug" Page" is great to post items for review. There are numerous Review Forums that are just asking for you to submit your items and will offer fair and honest critique. Take some time, explore, and if you get lost, just keep a piece of paper next to you with a pen, and write down where you were, and what you found. More importantly, have fun!!!

I've received no feedback. Why, oh why? "Okay esprit, straighten up, fly right and quit grouching!" A question to test my readership; How many reviews have I received and what could you, personally, do to raise that number? "esprit, they ain't gonna fall for that!" "Shhh, maybe. Just wait and see."
