Looking for reader submitted Quicktips

Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

If you haven’t visited the Editblog over on PVC lately then check it out. At the beginning of February we started the 2011 version of 28 Days of Quicktips. We did this back in 2009 and it seemed like 2011 was a good time to do it again. This time around we’re also taking reader submitted Quicktips and the best of the bunch will get their choice of a free book (there’s 4 to choose from) as well as some iOS software. We’ve had some good ones submitted thus far with a new one going up every day. All the details are available at the Editblog on PVC.
