One of the best sources for technical information on FixYa is our growing Tips & How-To’s section. This is where our Experts aggregate the knowledge acquired during their time in the field into Tips, which are then made available to anyone searching for a related solution. Experts who create high-quality Tips can actually become Premium Tips Experts, and earn money for the Tips they write.

While some Experts are just learning how to make the most of this system, one Expert who is really setting the standard is heatman101, who has already posted an astonishing 132 Tips since joining FixYa in November 09. Not to be overlooked, his 542 solutions and 97% rating are also testaments to his impressive skill as a technician.

It’s tax season! Time for FixYa to take stock of what we’ve done during the last 12 months and make sure we’re squared away with Uncle Sam. We need to collect a little information from our Premium Experts and Premium Tips Experts, which will only take a few seconds to complete.

If you are a Premium Expert or a Premium Tips Expert, please visit the “Premium Expert Information” section of your Edit Profile page. Enter your name and the location where you primarily perform your Premium activities (don’t forget to click “Save Changes”). That’s all you have to do!

Before FixYa looks to the New Year, we want to reflect on the last month of 2009. That’s when three of our Premium Experts wowed us with their technical prowess and superb support skills, earning themselves FixYa’s second Holiday Bonus award.

Congratulations to our first place $500, Ekse! As Ekse approaches the end of his second year on FixYa, we want to make it known how much we value the contributions he has made to our community. Ekse is a consummate professional and has unparalleled insight into the workings of our site, making him a great help to both our customers and our staff.

Our second place winner, tbirdfan1, takes home the $250 prize. He’s a relatively recent addition to FixYa’s community, but he has made his mark as a dedicated tech who continually produces great work. Thank you, tbirdfan1, for bringing fresh talent to FixYa!
