EarlC posted an interesting start on linking Videomaker to your social sites to draw more participants to the forum. In that he also brought up mentors.
The mention of Mentors brings up a question I have been trying to form for a while. I hope I am making some sense.
Where/how does one go about finding a mentor? And how do you know that individual is a good match and is working with you? Someone that is giving you good one-on-one adivce and direction. I know that there is somewhat a burden put on the one doing the mentoring, and it takes a special type of person, as it becomes an extra duty added to an already busy environment.
This forum does a level of mentoring in that people can ask questions and get pretty good answers in a short period of time. It does it in a way that does not seem intimidating like some of the other forums I have participated in. There are actual constructive discussions going on and seldom is anyone made to look foolish.
I personally want to avoid the annoying one line answers that seem prevalent at times and instead have more information on the why or why not of things. Someone that can talk down a level or three to better explain things as they come up.
Again I don't know if any of this makes sense and apologize if it seems to be rambling on. I do hope it generates some answers or additional questions.
It is a journey. Take the time to enjoy your family, friends and surroundings.
