Supporting this Site

I hope that this site provides useful content to you. From the feedback I've gotten and the usage statistics I think this site is providing a useful community service on a variety of software development topics around .NET and ASP.NET development.

The content here is provided free of charge - as it should be. While a lot of effort goes into the content for this site it also has paid me back with lots of excellent user input and enlightening discussions. What makes this blog such a useful resource to me - and hopefully to you as well - is the interaction not just in the blog entries but also in the comments and discussion that often ensues.

While the content is free a number of people frequently ask how they can support this site and show their appreciation. There are a number of ways that you can do this if you are so inclined.

• Check out or Buy one of our products
  While I give away a lot of the knowledge and ideas my company does sell a few commercial applications. If you have a need in the areas that they serve you should check them out. Amongst the applications are our West Wind Web ASP.NET & AJAX Toolkit (which consolidates a ton of content covered from this blog), West Wind Web Store (e-Commerce), Web Monitor, West Wind Html Help Builder (Documentation) and more.

  This site is using my Amazon Associate account for any Amazon links and references. All links include our partner ID and I get a small kickback from Amazon for anything purchased by a referral. You can always find Amazon links on any WebLog page in the Now Reading section and use one of the books as kick off link to browse Amazon.
  
  
• Send me something from my Amazon Wish List
  My wish list always has something on it and you can certainly surprise me by sending something from the list.

Do so if it feels right - but please no guilt trips. There's no obligation! If you do decide to make a donation or check out our products, I thank you for your support.
