[webproducers] Re: Getting started in "the biz". Suggestions?

Hi Everyone,

In my time with this listserve, this has been the most frequently  
asked question. Could we put up a page on the Website that writes up  
and archives this for future questioners? I feel that I can give and  
have given good feedback on this in the past. It's not time efficient  
to keep everyone answering in real time each time this is asked.

My two cents,

Tamara
