IconBuffet is a cool icon trading site where members can collect and trade icons. There are new icons sets that are released for free all the time, and each month a member will receive one free set which he can trade among his friends. It takes a little while but over time icon fanatics can collect up to almost 200 free icons.

There are two things to watch for when trading icons.  The first is stamps; stamps are earned each time members receive and icon set.  In order to send icons to a friend, members must have stamps; run out of stamps and there won’t be any more trading. If a friend spends stamps sending icons to another member and the member declines the icons, then the stamps will be returned. The second thing in consideration is tokens; each month the users tokens will be reset to 10 so they have some money to buy icons: sort of like  Monopoly money. The monthly free icon set that gets sent to members will sometimes be free, but sometimes it will require 1,2,5 etc. tokens. If members run out of tokens, they cannot buy any more icons for that month. If their friends send some icons that don’t cost tokens, then users will be able to get them other than that, members will have to wait till the next month.

She rides so smooth

After all this time I have finally decided to start a blog. I had a little persuasive nudge from my colleague and good friend Russ Wittmann From over there at Wittmann Web Weaving. There will be more to come at Joel Carlton, but right now I am making sure I have WordPress set up just how I need it with the right look and feel.
