EI2HCB & Sanatone,
I think it is great the two of you have started or are thinking of starting your own blogs as well. The more of us letting people know about this option for getting a degree the better. EI2HCB, what's you blog's address? I'd love to see it, and I'm sure others would too.
Publius2k4 and Saharapost,
I'd like to add COSC and Excelsior in the future. I didn't do so initially for three reasons. 1) Time constraints -- it took forever to do all those TESC degree plans. Adding COSC and EC would have really slowed down my release date. 2) The thought of overloading new visitors with too much information was a concern, so I focused on TESC. 3) I also wanted highlight degrees with the lowest cost, and TESC's new enrollment fee of $0 as long as you take 8 TECEPS really reduces the cost of TESC degrees. However, with all of that said, I still think that at some point I should include COSC and EC.
I also plan on creating some software that will allow people to design their own degrees by simply choosing courses from a dropdown list. Once again, I'll probably focus on TESC first with plans to add COSC and EC later. However, that project will probably take a while.
Sanantone and rebel100,
Anything that either of you would like to write up would be greatly appreciated. The two of you are absolute wealths of knowledge. I find Sanantone's journey towards a PhD to be absolutely inspiring. I also find rebel100's daughters pursuit of Harvard degrees an inspiration as well. I would love to hear the details behind both of those particular journeys, and I'm sure those stories would be inspirations to others as well.

Cool site! Great job! (I'm glad you will be sharing more information about all of the options at the Big 3.)
Personally, I like knowing about the other business models. It is a good reminder about how valuable the information we have really is to other people's lives. I think it is great to see all of the forum members' websites, since spreading the word about this opportunity is so important!
In that light, I recently added a webpage about credit-by-exam to my website:
OI Resource - Use Credit-by-Exam to Earn College Degree
I highly recommend this forum and hope that the members will continue to take just as good of care of my website visitors as you have of me in this process.

It did the same for me when clicking on the link, but if I typed the address in manually it worked.

I figured out the problem when clicking on the link. It is now fixed. Thanks to Photog and AngelaP for letting me know about it. It was a dumb programmer error.
