until it dies, I will be using it), and a variety of post topics but mostly discovering new apps and also different perspective on apps that have also been reviewed on ghacks. The best thing about the site was the simplicity (also why I come to ghacks), not stalling my hand me down 20yr old desktop comp (ugh. I spent a couple hours on the site (while still re-reading ghacks) and went back up to 1yr reading all her posts. Hi (longtime lurker, sporadic commenter),Īfter reading this (I go on Askwoody and other sites from time to time), I was just randomly googling something about windows 10 for my new laptop (I love windows but it is a continous process that you love to hate and sometimes frustrating the sometimes funny comments and drama on ghacks community helps) and discovered (lol I have never come across this site ghacks and reddit are my main). It is a must-visit site in my opinion as a system administrator, regardless of whether you administrate a single Home PC or PCs in a company network. Stick around, and you will see that it offers great content, especially about Windows updates and issues that users may experience. If you just glance, you may not realize what a jewel it is. Closing WordsĪskWoody looks like many other tech blogs out there on first glance. The newsletter offers great articles by industry veterans. One interesting aspect of being a Plus member is that you get access to the Plus Newsletter which is the official successor of the Windows Secrets newsletter. Donations help keep the site up and running. Note that you may publish anonymously as well if you prefer that just like you can do here on Ghacks. You may sign up for an account on the site to participate actively. The community plays an equally big part in it if you check the comment section of forum, you will get different perspectives, additional information and tips, and other things that add value to the site. Just like it is the case here on Ghacks, it is not just the articles that make AskWoody a great resource. Woody Leonhard is the top poster on the site but other authors have found permanent residence on the site as well this includes Susan Bradley who writes the Patch Watch column on AskWoody. The content focuses on Microsoft products, especially Microsoft Windows and Office, and here especially on patching, updates, and issues that users or administrators may experience. Latest articles are displayed on the homepage. Read on to find out why we love the site and consider it one of the must go-to sites when it comes to Microsoft Windows patching, updating and issues. Woody Leonhard created back in 2004 (one year before I created Ghacks) and has been running the site ever since. We gave shout outs to Majorgeeks, Nirsoft, and Donationcoder in previous parts of the series. Many of the original Windows Secrets gang have signed on, including Woody himself, Susan Bradley, Tracy Capen, myself, and others.This is the fourth part of the "Tech Sites We Love" series. What’s this about?
