These are links compiled from comments from the GFHC: Links! diary from a couple of months back. I've entered them in the categories as they were suggested. If I missed any, or put any in the wrong category, let me know. Or if you are an editor, please feel free to change or add to it.
I haven't read every link, except to make sure the links work, but I want to thank you all for all the suggestions. Hopefully in the future, as we find more links, we'll remember to add to them. As always, editors of GFHC are free to add to them as well.
As was previously discussed, I've now entered the link to this diary in the boilerplate. This is the sole reason I'm publishing this diary, but if you want to add links, chat, rec & tip or whatever, go ahead. I'll keep checking. Thanks again.
