You may have noticed that there's very little third-party advertising on this site. I'd like to keep it that way. Here's how you can help:

Buy my books. They're available at great prices on Amazon.com.
Check out my training videos on Lynda.com. It's a great source for "all you can eat" training.
Donate a few dollars. It'll help cover my hosting costs and give you a chance to tell me what you want to see covered here.
Comment on blog posts. You can help get a discussion going that can benefit others, making the site more valuable for everyone.
