Welcome to the library

If you’re new this is a great place to start.

I’ll try my best to keep things organized useful and up to date.

I’m doing this for both of us. Sometimes I get asked questions, that I’ve already answered in a post. This will help both of us find that post. I’ve added an icon to mark free and paid posts, in most paid post I try to include some free content.

If you’re looking for something and can’t find it, leave a comment and I’ll try to help you out!

These emoji will tell you a little about the type of post they are.
