Blacklight Community Provided Resources

The idea of this wiki page is to promote and share contributions from the community of Blacklight implementers so that they aren't lost to the void of internet space and time. The rest of this wiki is, of course, the official "manual" or "guide" for how to use Blacklight and how it works.

Maybe we could make a dynamic page via Pinboard tags or something slicker if there's interest? But for now a little manual page I think is better than nothing.
