Totally Fuzzy is the ultimate blog linking site. A great resource. I'm not going to be as quite cross-genre as this site but its well worth checking consistantly for new blogs/links/posts.

Some questions Answered:

1. How do I Download Something?
All blogs store their music at music hosting sites. From rapidshare to sendspace to .....well you get the picture. Java script is required on all and these sites are generally harmless. Just make sure to click on the correct download buttons and not on ads. Right click saves also generally work when in question. Not all files will last that long but some may last for 3 months or more.

2. RAR Compression: What Is A RAR File? RAR is a data containing file in a compressed form. It's also like a ZIP file which you are genrally familiar with. After downloading a RAR file, one must unpack its contents in order to use it. The following two links will provide more specific details on RAR compression and downloadable shareware versions of their software. Keep in mind RARS can have passwords for them to be opened. Make sure to get any passwords on any blogs before you leave the pages after you've downloaded any files.

WinRAR (Windows/UNIX)
StuffIt (Macintosh)

3. Basic Rapidshare Tutorial: Rapidshare is a free file sharing often used to serve the sample downloads on the archives. This short tutorial will explain to new users how to painlessly utilize the Rapidshare system.

Begin by simply click the link or by copying the link into your web browser. Scroll down to the bottom of the page. Press the “Free” button to start the download.

Upon clicking the “Free” button, a second, similar page will load. Find the download counter; you must wait until the counter finishes before the download will begin.

After waiting for the counter to finish, a third page will appear. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and find the verification code. Enter the verification code and click “Start Download”.

Upon click the “Start Download” button, the web browser will prompt a file to open or save. Select save from the list. Once saved, extract the file as instructed in the RAR Compression section.

Keep in mind that with Rapidshare you will need to wait 90 minutes or so between downloads unless you have a premium membership. With a premium membership ($10 for 1 month) you can download multiple RARS at once. I do recommend it as more than half of the links on blogs are rapidshare.
