Groups

Another group, just what is needed -- but if you want, come and join Former Xchange Shopkeepers.

It's intended to be used as a way to share information on what others are doing, or just a griping place.

Hey, how are you -- and what are you doing to market your stuff?

I've started a blog, though it's mostly about how I'm marketing now to work around these changes and explaining a little why I am still on xchange while looking around.

Note that blogspot.com is FREE -- it is a way you can market your goods and let off steam if you want to.

On the commerce forum, there are some who are offering places to park your boxes, and discussion of free shops inworld.
