Tradesmen Directories (Find a Tradesmen Type Websites)

Dan — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 21:45:17 GMT

Most of the following websites you need to pay for. Some you pay a monthly/annual subscription for, others you pay a percentage of the total job price, very few are free.

We endorse none of them, we would prefer you do check them out yourselves.

They are in no order.

We thought the lost would be beneficial for both tradesmen and customers.

If you want to, please feel free to reply to this with a link to your profile(s).

I thought I'd try and keep us up to date with the latest trends. Though traditionally Contractors wouldn't really be seen on such Social Networking Websites, I think the fact we have so many on our forums must mean times are changing.

Feel free to follow us, and please do reply with a link to your profiles so we can follow you too. :)

Sidebar for the Forum

Dan — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 18:03:46 GMT

If you checkout the Contractor Forum you'll spot the sidebar that houses lots of information to keep you updated with what's going on in the blog, article system and the forum generally.

We'll continue to deliver you updates to what should be the very best contractor resource website on the planet!

Social Groups Added

Dan — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 16:34:44 GMT

I've added more Social Groups to the website. You can create 5 of your own, but join as many as you want to. :cool:

Widgets for the Website :)

Dan — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 23:03:48 GMT

If you hit a category in the Contractor Articles, such as the Tiling category, and scroll down the page and look to the right, you'll see a "Widget" (Wiki Description on Widgets). Okay, so the one that's there now is a Google Recipies Widget, but I'll soon install some decent ones. :)

You'll also notice some news ones, and eventually I'll work out how to add the "Poll Widget" and other forum-based Widgets that I can see in my Control Panel but don't have time now to test out.

So.... I thought I'd blog something random, please feel free to do the same yourself.

Back Again

Dan — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 22:06:48 GMT

After needing to almost start again we've ended up with an empty blog system. So here we are, back again.

I've added all the categories, which you'll only see once they have a blog post assigned to them.

Please feel free to blog about what's on your mind and we'll get this place full soon enough.
