Cozy works hard to bring you links, lessons and articles that help you in your quest to be an adult webmaster. We research, read, write and categorize everything on our sites -- Cozy Frog and Cozy Academy. We do this because we know what if feels like to be a newbie. We understand how this business can overwhelm even the most unflappable person. There is so much to learn.

Therefore, we are glad to give you a compendium of knowledge that is easy on the eyes, the soul and the brain.

We are always improving Cozy for you. Cozy Academy contains over 250 lessons and we add new ones often. Cozy Frog is home to the most comprehensive list of webmaster resources on the web. If you've been all through Frog and Academy and you still cannot find an answer to your question, either the answer doesn't exist or you've yet to ask it on our webmaster message board: Cozy Campus.

Cozy Campus is an adult webmaster forum made just for the newbie. We do not make fun of you. We do not allow our members to make fun of you. We do our very best to give you a web destination where you feel free to communicate and participate.

Over the years, Cozy Campus has grown into a place frequented by some of the most insightful and generous webmasters in our field. There's been many brilliant threads born on the Campus. We've discussed everything from galleries to paysites to the laws that effect this industry. We've got serious threads and silly threads. Some threads are short while others go on for pages. There are threads where the answers come easy and there are threads where the answers are sublime.

In the history of Cozy Campus, there is one thread that has become the stuff of legend. It is a thread that illustrates the heart of Cozy. This thread is so awesome and so helpful that we have decided to write a three-part article about it. What's more, we love this thread so much, we are going to open a new Cozy Help Guide, dedicated to the information contained in this thread. This thread exemplifies our mission.

This thread gives you real advice, straight from the real members of Cozy Campus. This thread was so killer that it remained pinned to the top of our Campus Newbie Forum for over two years. This thread and the upcoming Cozy Help Guide is called:

TOOLS OF THE TRADE

Click Here for a direct link to this infamous thread.

Back in August of 2003, Campus Moderater, Raven asked Cozy Campus members to post their favorite webmaster tools. What started out to be a nice idea turned into page after page of incredible links to sites and software. In fact, the Tools thread got so big, the information within it became a bit hard to find. It was a handy thread but it was also a laborious one.

Was that color picker link on page four or seven? Which page was it where they named that site for determining page rank? Who made that one post with a bunch of links that I absolutely need to find right now! It would be swell to take the time to read that whole thread but who the hell has that kind of time? Wouldn't it be cool if Cozy would take all the info in that thread and turn it into an ordered, searchable Guide?

One of our members named fpanko made that very suggestion. We heard you, fpanko. Your request is our command.

So, get ready froggers. Stay tuned for part two of our series on TOOLS OF THE TRADE. We're going to highlight the great links and software you mentioned. We're going to review the incredible advice given by LdyLnWolf1, taboo_gal, grimfang, upallnite, timelord, Sheri Santiago, eDJ, Kappi, nycfreak, Mr. Blue and so many others. That thread was a goldmine and we are pleased to turn it into something for the ages.

Our TOOLS OF THE TRADE guide is going to be great. Keep your eyes out for the rest of our three-part series because we're giving out Cozy props. TOOLS OF THE TRADE is dedicated to the members of Cozy Campus. We made you Cozy and you made us great!
