Subject Matter Experts Needed!
EggHeadCafe has a lot of traffic to our forums, and as a result, some questions go unanswered.  We are seeking to hire Subject Matter Experts, currently for our Excel and Sharepoint areas.
The successful candidate will be an expert in the respective field, and will be required to answer forum questions in their particular area of expertise.  In addition, SME's are expected to contribute at least one quality professsional article monthly for publication at eggheadcafe.com in their subject matter area.  This is a part - time independent contractor position, and based on the subject area and your expertise you will earn a flat rate between $250-$500 each month.  Plus, you would be eligible to earn more money via our monthly messageboard contest.
If you are interested, contact us at info@eggheadcafe.com and include your qualifications and a current resume or CV.

What Software & Services does EggHeadCafe use?
We use ComponentOne's RichTextBox in our Silverlight editor, DivElements.com for our Silverlight docking needs in both the main Silverlight application and ChatChaos, Telerik's ASP.NET Editor for this web site and several of their controls in our main Silverlight application, Reuxables for XAML themes in our Silverlight applications, Preemptive Solutions to obfuscate our Silverlight assemblies, 4templates.com for our master template, and most recently Neado Designs for the forum layouts (callouts, graphics, css, etc.).  We've been happy with all of our vendors and recommend them.

What Software & Services does Robbe Morris use?
All of the above of course.  I also use the following products.  Dundas Charts & Gauges for awesome charts and great support.  Plus, they have the best support for importing and exporting chart configuration via serialization.  Nevron Windows Forms Controls is a nice suite that has some really powerful UI styling capabilities.  Syncfusion's Windows Controls has a great grid control.   And last but not least SpreadSheetGear for ASP.NET.  By far and away the best control on the market for safely working with Excel without having Office installed.  All of these vendors have great support and that is an absolute must for me.
