feddy.ca Resource Library
The feddy.ca Resource Library will link to the highest quality articles, sites and information on the web explaining everything from domain registration and web host basics to converting visitors and reviewing your copy (content).
I have organized the library in a topical fashion and then by the questions the resource may answer. I think this will be useful for those looking for a specific answer or just browsing. The library will be added to over time, with new resources for old topics and new topics, so check back frequently or subscribe to the feddy.ca feed, where we will note updates to the library.
