A Present for my Canadian Indie-Bizzers!
Welcome to Forum Friday – a monthly recap of all the goings on at the IndieNorth Small Business Forum!
Wait…”what forum” you ask?
Why, THIS FORUM!!!!!! <—click here to see the forum.
Now…here’s the deal:
I’ve set the permissions so that guests must register, and then post an introductory post before they’re able to visit the whole forum. I know that will not stop dedicated spammers and trolls, but I do think it will cut down on a lot of nonsense. Above all, I want this to be a safe enjoyable place for Canadian Indie-business folks to to ‘meet’, brainstorm, encourage, help and enjoy.
