[How To] Take and Share a Screenshot with the rest of us
Windows allows you to take a snapshot of what is shown on your computer screen and save it as a file. You can share this image with other people via web pages or email. You may be asking why this is important and why you would want to share screen shots of your computer. Two reasons come to mind, though there are many others:
1. You see a website drastically different than others. You can take and share a screenshot to show your perspective.
2. You did something you find to be really cool or interesting and would like others to be able to see it.

[Gateway] Official Designation for Websites in Links Directory
On being designated an 'Official' site in our Links Directory:
This resource should be short, as it is there to locate established gaming companies and official sites related to them so the criteria for that list is pretty narrow.
Independent gaming companies are eligible if they've actually put out more than one working, finished and polished game. Preferably three or more products. These items should be for sale, not free. (Although, as with anything a free, a vendor might make it if their product is very, very good.)
Spell / Grammer Checking ... aka Proofing
I used to work editing at a newspaper. A strange thing I learned there ... when proofing your documents, read them backwards. One word at a time, backwards.
How to keep an RPG PbP Board Alive
So, you have had a board for a while now. The story has been going along well and suddenly people get busy and stop posting. A major thread is frozen and nothing goes forward. Players leave or find other places to be and the board dies. Here are some tips, I have found work for me, to help you get through the dry posting periods and perhaps even avoid a complete halt to the story.
Good Grief ... here we go again
Once again, I've climbed up from the MySQL pit of despair into a working system. Once again, I've had to completely re-do the theming and graphics of the site. Can anything be easy?
Someday I'd like to do an upgrade that is simply an upgrade rather than a complete crash and rebuild. But that is not my lot.
