Resource Suggestions?

Before you contact me with link suggestions, review my site policies to learn:

  • the links I'm looking for;
  • my intended market;
  • links I never include; and
  • update timelines.

I seldom respond to link requests, unless I need more information.

All links pointing to external resources display a dotted line underneath (e.g., DuckDuckGo) and open in a new tab.

Care is taken when choosing links, but I have no control over external content which can disappear without warning.

Inaccurate Documentation?

Report broken links & site errors.
