Thanks to all those who took part in the Blogging Start group writing project. There have been some fantastic posts over the last couple of weeks. Here they are, in order of appearance: How Did You Start Blogging? - David Bridger From Paper to ‘Puter - One Woman’s Journey - Deb Wunder Blogging Start - Shelly Bryant How Did [...] [...more]
The false start to my blogging career is lost in the mists of time. Really. As a confirmed technophile, I started using Blogger when it first came out, didn’t like it and cancelled my account with a week or two, wondering what all the hoopla was about blogging. Just goes to show [...] [...more]
I am a professional blogger and writer, so pay me in cash. Pay me by Paypal, wire transfer, direct credit or even e-cheque, as long as I get paid for my work. Why do I feel the need to say this? Because I applied for a blogging job today. The ad stated that it was a paid [...] [...more]
I haven’t been quite as rigorous in collecting posts in the last month. That was in part due to blog woes, to an unexpected trip and to switching back to Google Reader after a three month flirtation with Netvibes. However, I have found time to stop off at a few favourite (and new) sites. Here [...] [...more]
It’s Blogger Appreciation Day, according to Darren Rowse, so I didn’t want to miss the chance to show some appreciation to my favourite bloggers. I’ve already said thanks to all the wonderful blogging friends who visited my blog in March and I’ve reviewed the blogs of some of the other bloggers I appreciate, so I [...] [...more]

Did you miss me? When I posted Please Do Not Disturb last weekend, I had no idea that it would be the last post I would write for a while. Such are the joys of the web. You see, I’m in the middle of moving my sites from one host to another. The first site [...] [...more]
Earlier this week, I read a post on Freelance Switch about turning clients into friends. In that post, Andy Howard made the point that when you work in an office, you invite clients over for meetings all the time, so why change your habit as a freelancer? I thought it was an interesting point, though [...] [...more]
It’s time for another round up of interesting articles I’ve found on the web. As usual, most of these are to do with the business of freelancing, but there are a few about blogging and promotion. What Is My Worth? is a question that many freelancers ask. Maybe it’s time to think about Reviewing Your Writing [...] [...more]
Men with Pens is one of my favorite new blogs. It’s the successor to the Web Content Copywriting blog which I mentioned last year. Run by James Chartrand and Harry McCLeod, this is a writing blog with a difference. These guys really know how to write unique blog posts. It’s refreshing to read new [...] [...more]
