Research Tools and Resources

How many times have you looked for, or followed, an old link in a forum or website, only to find it is no longer available? Well one of the best tools out there is one that is little known or forgotten by many. It doesn't always work, but it is a good tool. Sometimes you will find a 'blocked by robots' message. That means the file has been closed to viewing and cannot be retrieved.

QuoteI stumbled across a massive collection of fantasy wallpapers the other day, and since the other wallpaper post I did was highly popular, I decided to share them with you.

Today, we have 30 breathtaking fantasy wallpapers by incredible digital artists.  They are all sized 1900×1200, so just click on the wallpaper you like and use it as your background!

It's always appreciated to know what you think about these posts, so please leave a comment, share it with your friends, or submit it to your favorite social network!  Thanks for reading everyone, and check back in soon, because I've got some more great posts planned.
