Dear Cristina, Thank you so much for your kind welcome and great tips! I have made wonderful use of the Vision Australia tutorials, and have kept them for reference. I have also heard some of Mike Arrigo's podcasts which I think are also very good! I'm getting more confident each day, but I still have much to learn, and I know that I will always have more to master! :) This is why I'm so happy to be a part of this list!
