Resources for Freelance Writers and Web Workers

I have a deadline to meet, and yesterday was a lost cause spent traveling. So let me offer up the best of what others have to offer!

Jennifer Mattern has blog plugins for Wordpress that are total must-have for hardcore bloggers like me. Now that I have bandwidth to spare, I can install some of this bloggy goodness, starting with the Wordpress Auto Updater.

David Preston gives us A Stupidly Simple Cash Cow for the more technically inclined. I’ve already emailed this articled to a few of my web design friends. And hey, if you don’t feel comfortable writing your pitch email, you could always have me do it for you!

I blinked earlier today and when I looked back at my Gmail, it was all messed up. It turns out they have themes now! Ahem, the new default is pretty much unreadable, thereby causing one to choose a theme, or do what I did: Hit the “older version” button. Yeah, I thanked them for the warning, too.

Death and taxes, how dependable. Chrisblogging has some tips for freelancers on navigating their tax obligations. My own personal tip? Talk to your waiter about the work you do, then expense the meal! I mean, you talked about business, right??

Ok, gotta go. Catch y’all later.
