Jake,

I like the idea, I think it will be a nice resource.

A few things I noticed right away:

1) Could you add away that I can see all the instructions with out being
broken in to catagories? I have to do a lot of clicking to just browse the
current instructions. It would be nice to just see a list of all available
instructions no matter what their catagory.

2) Is there a way for you to include a thumbnail with the item description
so I don't have to open each link to see what I'm looking at?

I guess I need to get working on some instructions for a few of my models,
might even have to build a few Rail Racer instructions so there is something
in the Trains/Other catagory :)

All,

Several years ago, I had a vision of a link portal that would be a one stop
destination for all finding all the fan created building instructions on the
Web. For a number of reasons, this project kept getting moved to the back
burner, and never really got started. But after many long nights, I have
finally completed what I believe is the first all-inclusive Building
Instructions Portal Web site!

http://www.bricksonthebrain.com/resources/links

The application is driven off of submissions of your own *original* work.
(Please submit only your own work) You can link to any URL, and can have any
type of building instruction (i.e. Web based, downloadable, .ldr/.mpd file,
free, cost, etc.) Working together, we can hopefully build the content of
this application together over time.

The site (version 1.0 anyway) is basically complete, but I'm sure there are
still bugs here and there. If you have feedback on the flow, or find
problems, please drop me a line (sink@countersinkdg.com). Please bear with
me as we work out all the kinks.  If you have suggestions on necessary or
desired functionality, send me a note as well, and I will try to add it in
as soon as I can.

I look forward to hearing your feedback! This is a big experiment, and I may
be the only one interested in this kind of application!

Jake
