It's getting colder up here. We had a pellet stove installed at the beginning of the October, and we're starting to use it a lot. I love having a fireplace again! I've also gotten deep into editors for the last few weeks. Hopefully I can get the reviews done quickly. But on to the website!
Introducing a New Site Feature
I have been given the opportunity to beta test a new feature coming to all About.com websites soon - user submitted articles and pictures. I would love to see your submissions, and I got a number in just the few weeks it was live in October.
- How to Become a Web Designer - find out how others did it or share your story.
- Favorite Web Designs - These are examples of great Web design and my favorites will be showcased in my blog on Wordless Wednesdays. Submit your favorite site.
- Where to Find Good Clients - Find out where other freelancers have the best luck and share your success stories.
- Web Hosting Providers - A chance for hosting providers to tell you about themselves. If you own or work for a Web hosting provier submit a profile.
