I havent shown my list of Newbie Tip Of The Day tips for nearly a year now and was reminded that this may be a good time to do so.

This took some work to recreate since all the links were broken with the migration to a new platform, but I have checked every one and they should be good now.

As some of you may not be aware, nearly 3 years ago I started to group of posts titled

Newbie Tip Of The Day

What started out as a top 10 list of things to help new collectors quickly grew to over 100 posts.

Included in this group were many links to other collectors sites, blogs and special projects.

For only the second time, I wanted to post a link to the first 100 in one place.

Each is a link to the original post from the Chipboard Archives and any comments from others can be seen in those threads as well.

In some cases the links within each post no longer work and I have added edits to these posts below the link to the original post. I was unable to edit the actual original posts since they are now archived under the old platform.
