[URL="http://www.SolidMentor.com"]www.SolidMentor.com[/URL] First and foremost I want to thank Jeff Mirisola [URL]http://designsmarter.typepad.com/jeffs_blog/[/URL] and Lou Gallo [URL]http://podcasts.ddicad.com/[/URL] for their outstanding helping me make this site possible. These are two outstanding individuals! Finally I have my site live! I have created a SoildWorks site that will cater to the users, and made by the users. Tired of going all over the net trying to find tutorials, blogs, and anything SolidWorks? Here is my solution, I have syndicated all the blogs and podcasts that I know of to my site so there is one central location to view and read them (add yours if you would like to). Included is a starter set of links to go to inn the links section, add your links and best resources please, a forum... (Ya Ya I know not another forum.... Well this one is moderated so jerks can be banned, and you will be allowed to have attachments.), a Wiki, a calendar of events, Picture album..... Now if you have a site you would like to add, a podcast you would like to add, have some tricks to share.... Now you have a place to do it, just click on the appropriate section and add your stuff. The more we add the better the site will be. Oh, and one last thing, there is a search function that will help you find the info you want on the site. Now before you think you are going to a polished site, We are in Beta and have just finished the first round of testing. There is some content there to start with but the point of the site is that we all add a little bit then we will have a great site to use for help and mentorship. There will be some small problems I am sure to start so please let me know what they are and I will correct them ASAP (Remember I am doing this on my free time so it might take a bit of time to address all issues). Feel free to add anything to this site, correct me, suggest things to me, etc etc. Just poke around, kick the tires and do any testing you want. Also feel free to add any content you feel necessary to any of the links on the left, this is your site not my site so you help drive the content. Remember this is a site for SolidWorks users by SolidWorks users. Here are the key points I am trying to achieve. * Central location for all blogs, podcasts and SW news * The SolidWiki (this will require a lot of user help to populate but will be a very powerful tool!) * The forum will allow uploads for SW files for diagnostics, testing, yadda yadda yadda... * The forum will be moderated and be able to ban jerks. * Live webcasts (There will be a beta cast soon Stay posted) * A central community calendar for Usergroup meetings, and other SW events * Contacts, links, networking * For the users by the users * Objective, Candid opinions from users ALL IN ONE LOCATION, ONE SITE, THAT IS EASY TO NAVIGATE!!! Again, Welcome and please have fun this site is only limited by our imaginations. Ben [email][/email]
