How else can I support MacRumors.com?
* Participate. Register for membership, join the MacRumors forums, post questions, comments and answers. Contribute your knowledge to our Guides. Join our distributed computing teams, which are always happy for further assistance.
* Shop. Click ads of interest when you see them, to support our sponsors. Use the "Shop" links near the tops of forum pages, which provide quick access to popular Mac-related vendors such as Amazon and MacMall. Use the MacRumors Shop whenever you shop for computer hardware and software, consumer electronics, office products, and photographic equipment, as well as console, portable, and computer games. Although you can buy MacRumors logo merchandise at CafePress, it is not a fundraiser for MacRumors, in order to keep prices down.

Link to MacRumors and its associated sites from your blogs and from other websites. Refer your friends and associates to MacRumors and encourage them to do all of the above.
