Somewhere below there was a request for links on racecars. There were lots of responses with TONS of great links. This has happened also on FONTS, CLIPART....etc.
Maybe we can talk Steve into doing some MORE work on this site (sorry, Steve), by adding a "link" page(s)categorizing all these links we so badly need. Most of us NEED this info at one time or another and, I for one hesitate a bit to "beg" for help on this site, as I find myself somewhat incompetant at times in finding stuff on the web (I'm old and cranky....my excuse).Am I asking the impossible? Anyhow, it's just a thought!

Hi Bob!

I'm the villan who posted the request for drag racing links. Possibly what I need is a class on surfing101! Before my plea for help, I had already spent in excess of 3 hours using three separate search engines. (AOL, Netscape & Northernlights) It's a tangled WEB... No tellin' what you'll find when the search contains the word 'drag'!

Still searching in 'drag'...

Hey Mark,
I realize that this BB generally wants to support it's $UPPORTERS, and that's as it should be. However, it would be real handy if we had lists of website addresses made available to us, even if some of them are not
$upporters of THIS website. Just because some of THEM are tight with the buck, it would still be advantageous to those that use this website (especially the RESIDENTS)to be able to access as many of these SITES as possible!

Bruce, after your post on pricing the use of the word fillabuster should set wheels in motion

Why is it everyone thinks everything should be for free in Letterville? We think it would be advantageous for every business in your towns to have a nice sign even if they choose not to buy one. If they can't afford or choose not to invest in a sign, be a nice guy and give it to them for free.

Come on people. Like any business, Letterville needs an income to operate on. That revenue comes from Residents and Merchants. With only 200 Residents carrying the load, revenue from Merchants is still very important. Vendors can still get a listing and link here for as little as a buck a day and that's a real bargain compared to any other form of advertising.

We want everyone to share in the exposure that Letterville offers. For those vendors who just can't afford a dollar a day, we offer them the Supplier's Soapbox Forum. This is an area where they can promote their stuff all day long at no cost.

We are currently taking a second look at the Links page mentioned above. It has always been our policy to add links to any website that does not sell something to signmakers. I see no reason to change that policy and we may even promote this page more in the future. Try it out and tell us what you think.

The way I understood it the "resource center" was set up so that when anybody found a non-commercial link that would be of use to letterheads they could put it there ... if everybody put in a link or two it would be a valuable tool...
or ...
Steve could search through every post (heck, the whole net) and find those links for us.

Why don't you go back to the racecar post grab the links and put them in the resource center for the next time the question is asked.

Steve, where as I do not think this site should be free,,,,

I am glad it IS....LOL

a group of sign painters haven a party can justly have the opption of,, footing the bill (and taking the fring) or passing the buck,, to the members of the flock;...

Believe it or not,,,, and I believe that this can also be virefied by Mr. John Arnot..
the town "or" ville if you wish,,, of LAKESIDE Ca.,.... DID just that.......they paid for the business signs,,, and some other touch ups.......

I KNOW,, they ask me to do one,,, PAID by THE TOWN......

WHY you ask,,, (or not) Well I think that is as plane as '''..... ME on a hill....Twain,TBuk

To tell the truth, I had almost forgotten about the Resourse Center at http://www.letterhead.com/links/pages/index.html

This actually a wonderful tool that allows users to submit links that they find useful. I had great hopes for this page, and at one time considered using it as a Merchant Page.
You guys were great at submitting links in the beginning, but interest in that page dropped off. Time we had another look at it.
