You will find a growing number of useful articles, resources and tutorials on various aspects of running a small online, as well as off-line business with an online presence. It is combined with a forum where you can meet and connect with others. As a new forum it is not very busy yet, but the advantage is that there is a little more of me to go around. I have immersed myself into internet marketing (IM) for the last few years to study the various methods used and observe many big names in IM, and am clued in as to who are the good and bad guys and what methods are kosher. I also recently finished the acclaimed online course Teaching Sells. Together with my experience and a bit of technical know-how, I can help in many areas. I am not an expert my any means, but there is plenty I do know, and everyone else on the forum has their own set of skills and experience. Each of us also have their own gaps of knowledge (me included), so between us we should be able to close them.

Standard membership is free, though there is a modest charge for premium membership. The Welcome section of the forum has more detailed information, but if you have any question, please drop me a line. Hope to see you there.

Karabiner - this one was part of a little pocket knife, and has a screw post closure

Bulldog clip

Binder clip

The bulldog clip may be a little too bulky, and the protrusions could get snagged in a pocket and drag the clip off the guide. For home use it may be a quick and easy solution.

The binder clip may be the best solution. It is easy to obtain, cheap, comes in many different sizes, even colours, holds the pages securely, and the folding handles can be removed so they don't get in the way. It is best to print the guide and cut the pages to see how thick the guide is before buying the binder clips to ensure best fit.

Another solution would be to use a small two-ring binder, or cut down a larger one to fit. This may be a little bulky for outdoor use. You could also try to make a DCMC binder from milk cartons and cereal box, or simply put the loose pages in a pouch. There are wallets for index cards which may fit your guide.

The forst shoots of spring are apearing in someplaces and sap will rise soon. The best foraging season for fresh greens is about to start. Why not take advantage of this discount to save a little extra? That is in addition to all the savings you can make on some food when you harvest the wild. That wild might be your back yard.
