The Wordpile

Welcome to the Resources page! Somehow I’ve always had a knack for sniffing out lesser known but well made or helpful resources. So, I’ve combined that with the simple urge to share to create this particular section of my blog.   Here you will find lists of all the best I can find, in various areas. Some are free, some are not. If they are not free, assume I am not aware of an equal or better free alternative. All entries, free or not, can and will change if I find out there is something better.

Note: It is impossible for me to personally test all or even most of these products. I have evaluated them as best I can from the sales page.  Everyone is therefore strongly encouraged to use the comments section to provide feedback. The entries here are always open to change, replacement with a similar product, or even outright deletion, based on what I find out or what you tell me, so if you know something please be sure to participate.

Computers/Resources:
Things involving use of or maintenance of computers. Also useful software and sites that I consider invaluable. Lots of free here, much of which replaces expensive or annoying paid options, so be sure to take a good look.

Family/Home/Pets:
If it’s somehow involving family, based at home, or involves pets, it’s here. For the record, items are repeated from section to section when appropriate.

How-to’s:
Tutorials, instructions, and how-to’s of all sorts. Here wants vary, so you may sometimes find several options for the same thing, representing a range of qualities (and usually an according range of price).

Finance:
Everything from resources for existing businesses to resources for starting them. I’ve been doing a lot of personal experimenting in this field, sampling and examining what’s out there. Note: Some of this is of interest to everyone, in my opinion, as it relates to managing money and ways to grow money.
