New All About Freelance Site Coming

Yeah – I’ve been slack. But – cut me some slack. I’ve been trying to restructure my freelance business, become more profitable, and build a better base for my life and my family. Mission accomplished, mostly…

But – I’ve been remiss in getting this site back to where it should be. I’ll start posting a lot more – and not just the same kind of stuff. I’m going to take it to a more personal place. A little less of the same old same old, more weird stuff, more fun stuff, more STUFF. A new design, too. Better functions, easier navigation, yadda yadda yadda.

Maybe some recipes. Money saving ideas for all us cheap, broke freelancers. Who knows. You might dig it – you might not.

My name is James. I’m a father of four, a husband to one, and a freelance freak. Pleased to meet you – I hope you’ll enjoy a little slice o’ my life…

i am sorry…

i’ve been remiss in writing. i’m sorry. i’ll do better.

really.

All About Freelance Moving – again…

Well, folks – your favorite little freelance website has moved hosts. Sort of.

We’re still with MediaTemple (and they’re o.k.) but we’ve moved from a GS to a dedicated box. You should see much quicker loads and a little more oomph.

In this move, we learned one thing – complain and whine enough, and people will give you free stuff. Just remember that the next time you have to deal with poor service.

No, really. I mean it this time.

I’m back on the horse. I can sit by no longer, letting a great tool like this lie fallow.

I’m back to blogging, back to cutting up, back to making fun of everything I do, see and enjoy.

So – expect more from All About Freelance. It will be all about freelance. It’ll also be more. More humor. More bad design. More absurd, pointless ramblings about things that make absolutely no sense and have very little reason for being said.

My solemn promise: Blog more. At least a couple times a week.

There. I’ve said it…

Welcome back to your regularly scheduled slice of the freelance life. Hope you dig.

Hello Again. Nice to Meet You…

I know – I’ve extolled the virtues of blogging

Then I disappear for a few months. But – I’ve been storing up some new thoughts, some new strategies and some big things that we have in store for your favorite little freelanching design tips and thoughts site!

First up – updates! Daily, weekly, monthly updates with more juicy goodies and hints and helps and warm fuzzies.

Secondly – guest writers! I’ve lined up a bunch of experts on the freelancing lifestyle. We’ll have project managers, full-time bloggers, freelance writers, crusty old ad men and kids just breaking in that will pop in, add tips, questions and all sorts of good stuff to help you on the road to riches. Or, at least on the road to keeping the light bill paid.

Thirdly – a little new direction. I’ll be focusing more on the art and psychology of design. Maybe a little less on the day-to-day operations of a freelance agency.

So there – an update. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Groovy New Look Coming at You…

Well, I suppose it’s finally time that I got off my duff and made a new, custom site, being that I am a designer and all.

New AllAboutFreelance look coming at you – and totally smoothed out by April 1.

Stay tuned!

Success as a Freelance Designer

Success as a Freelance Designer can mean not having a lot of time to do other things – family, friends and blogging can suffer.

I’ve been a little lax about the blogging this week, as I’ve been bombarded with work – which is a good thing. Lots of magazine layout, lots of logos, lots of packaging. I need to hire a secretary. Or take a nap. Something…

But, I’m getting it squared away and manageable, so I’ll be back on the pony.
