If you haven’t browsed TheForceField.Net lately you may want to check out some new content and features that are currently being added to the site. Some of these new features are already in place and a few are still under construction and will be released shortly. All of them are designed to enhance your edification, enjoyment and overall experience inside The Force Field.<\/p>\n

Blogs<\/strong><\/a> – Previously our blogs were officially listed as editorials. To allow for more personal commentary we created a separate Blog section for our administrators, contributing editors and writers. As with the other content on the site you can rate and comment on the articles. You can access the official, personal blogs of The Force Field team by clicking Blogs<\/strong><\/a> on the main menu on the left sidebar.<\/p>\n

Team Bios<\/strong><\/a> –\u00a0 Ever wondered who the Team administrators are? Read their professional bios! Several have already been published and more are on the way. You can read bios on The Force Field team by clicking Team Bios<\/strong><\/a> on the main menu.<\/p>\n

Media Center<\/strong><\/a> – This new section contains a selection of audio and video podcasts, tutorials, webinars, special publications and other media resources hand picked for the members of The Force Field. Some of the podcasts in this collection are my personal favorites and are highly recommended. We also accept member and visitor submissions and suggestions. You can access the Media Center from the Media Center<\/strong><\/a> link on the main menu.<\/p>\n

Free Publications<\/strong><\/a> – The Force Field has partnered with a major media distributor to bring major trade publications, white papers and other resources in 35 industries to your fingertips in one convenient location. These publications are FREE to professionals who qualify. I personally subscribe to many of these publications and have learned much about trends the IT industry from both a technical and business aspect by reading them over the years. This is a dynamic business unlike many others and if you want to remain profitable and successful you need to keep up with it. Reading – even skimming through industry trade publications and white papers help keep you informed of the latest in industry trends.<\/p>\n

I have subscribed to some of them for many years. My personal reading agenda includes such trades as CRN, eWeek, PC World, Technet, Redmond Magazine, Videography, Windows IT Pro, RAM and Electronic Design. While some of these are not currently available through The Force Field.Net, many others are. PC Magazine is here as well as Electronic Design, SC Magazine and Cisco on Cisco News.<\/p>\n

If you want to know more about the business of technology, this is a great way to educate yourself. Best of all, it’s FREE and you can’t beat free. You can access the Free Publications by clicking Free Publications<\/strong><\/a> in the main menu on the left sidebar.<\/p>\n

Updated content in the IT Business Resources Directory and the File Downloads<\/strong> – We are currently adding more entries to existing directory listings as well as new sections and categories. During the next few weeks you will be able to search through lists of legal resources, business tax information and marketing. We are also planning an update in the next few months to make it easier to find and access the information.<\/p>\n

As always your feedback is welcome. Any suggestions and ideas for new features and improvements are encouraged. You can send feedback by clicking on Contact Us<\/a> on the main menu or you can send an e-mail to media@theforcefield.net.<\/p>\n
