Chapter 23: (Almost) Ten Excel Resources<br />

Several Web sites contain Excel-related material. A good place to start your<br />

Web surfing is my very own site, which is named The Spreadsheet Page. After<br />

you get there, you can check out my material and then visit my Resources<br />

section, which leads you to dozens of other Excel-related sites. The URL for<br />

my site is:<br />

Excel Blogs<br />

Google<br />

http://spreadsheetpage.com<br />

You can find literally millions of blogs (short for weblogs) on the Web. A<br />

blog is basically a frequently updated diary about a particular topic. Quite a<br />

few blogs are devoted exclusively to Excel. I maintain a list of Excel blogs at<br />

my site:<br />

http://spreadsheetpage.com/index.php/excelfeeds<br />

When I have a question about any topic (including Excel programming), my<br />

first line of attack is Google — currently the world’s most popular search site.<br />

http://google.com<br />

Enter a few key search terms and see what Google finds. I get an answer<br />

about 90 percent of the time. If that fails, then I search the newsgroups<br />

(described earlier) by using this URL:<br />

http://groups.google.com<br />

Bing<br />

Bing is Microsoft’s answer to the Google search site. Some people prefer it<br />

over Google; others don’t. If you haven’t tried it, the URL is:<br />

http://bing.com
