You’ll need to add flinthosts.co.uk to the hosting section.

You also left out the free CF scripts created by Donna Fontenot… they’re all over at FunScripts now:

Nice little collection of some very well written scripts for under the ColdFusion Scripts section.

Great list, Jason.
For those interested in such CF-oriented resources, I’ll note that I keep one of my own which has grown quote large. Called “Tools and Resources to Consider for CFers“. it has over 100 categories (and over 700 tools and resources). Like Jason’s list, I have hosters, bloggers, tip sites, frameworks, and more.
I even have a section is labeled “CFML Resource Sites“, which points to other meta lists like this and several others.
Hope that may help your readers. Keep up the good work. (If you may be open to adding that larger list, and my blog, to your site, I’d appreciate it, but I’ll understand if you’re no longer updating the list.)

Hi Charlie,
Thanks for letting me know about your list. My list did begin as a scattered collection of CF-related sites and brought them all together and rounded off to a nice number. Your is going to make for some good reading in the upcoming days.
Also, I apologize for not originally including you in the “Expert Blogs” section, you truly qualify to be on that list. I added your blog as well as a link to your list at the end of my post.
Hope to see you at MAX in SF this year!

Thanks, Jason. And no worries at all about not having listed the blog. There are so many good and even great ones out there that it’s hard to list them all. I just thought I’d mention it while pointing out the other list.
In fact, I don’t myself try to list all or even specific blogs on my list, instead pointing people to the aggregators which each offer lists of the bloggers they aggregate. But I realize that some like to call out a few, and I certainly appreciate your regard in offering to do that.
Of course, now it’s 103 resources.
But no harm, and I’m sure many get value out of your list (my larger one may be overwhelming to some!) In my opinion, there’s never too many places to list resources pointing to the work of others in our community. Again, thanks for what you’ve done here.
Finally, yes, I’ll be at Max this year (speaking on Derby), so certainly would love to say hello to folks. Until then, keep up the good work.
