The Sprout Community, join us.

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

Recently there have been some changes with Sprout’s online presence.  We launched a payment system for Sprout Builder and removed the marketing information from Sproutbuilder.com.  With that change, the forums and blog on Sproutbuilder.com went away.  The blog was consolidated to Sproutinc.com with blog posts living in this blog you are reading now and the tips and tricks living in our new support section.  The forums have also left Sproutbuilder.com and have been relocated to our Ning community.

What and where is the Sprout community?
