I just found this site and thought it looked great. I joined but now it looks kind of abandoned. Last post here was 6 months ago.
This is the WHT company blog. There's much more to WonderHowTo than this. Check out our front page which features the latest and greatest, and dive into a specific World that suits your interests to see what's new from those particular communities.
I've been looking around the site this afternoon, on and off a bit. I love the look of it, very visual and a lot of freedom to create and share ideas. Many of the topics seem forgotten by whoever created them, which is sad. I curate content on Scoop.it, write for HubPages and keep my own sites. I like finding new networks to add to the mix so I joined up here.
