Thanks for sharing the websites and the knowledge. Keep the good work going - you are helping people like me.
Thanks Pali, once I am done with couple of games, finish my thesis, catch up on lost, and finish couple of books, I’ll make it even better.
I have already completed new design, which will make all reviewed tools easily-accessible from the index page. But there will be lots more changes, to ensure more content and better quality. I think I’ll stop here, before I tell everything. ;-). One thing I am totally sure about, if everything goes as planned makeuseof will become #1 site for web tools and tips.
