I use gmail for consolidating my old hotmail account, my current gmail acct and my wordslinger emails.
Also, I wanted to let people know about this, as it may be of some interest: Sept 23rd is International Freelancer's Day (yes, yes, I know) BUT there's this free all-day on-line freelancing conference that looks like it will have some useful presentations, esp. for marketing, time and money management. Small biz owners might find it of use, also. [link]
Ginger, I do have a contact form on thedoggylama and my web guy has set it up so that I receive mail from anything at tdl. I also have the bonny at bk-t.
I could channel everything through gmail. I do have to admit that I don't like the threading in gmail. I know that is wrongheaded of me. It should be better, but I find it unweildy.
Maybe I should give it another try.
Gmail has had the ability to turn threading off for some time. They finally gave in. This year? 2010?
Heh. It's been a looong time since I've used it.
I will definitely look into it.
Bonny, you should have an e-mail.
Thanks to Ginger and tippr, I have just placed a huge order with Vistaprint, which means I won't have to think about business cards for a very long time. Plus, I've got a couple of new t shirts, some flyers, rack cards for an event coming up, thank you cards, postcards and such.
Phew. Thank goodness that is over.
Thank you so much for the pdfs Ginger!! It's a pain not having the right tools for the job. I deeply appreciate the assist.
Freelance Freedom comic. I just mainlined all of them pretty quickly.
Even though it's about a graphic designer, it's pretty right on. (I like #'s 83, 53, 47, 46, 38, 35, 31, and 23 especially. Not that I'm anal and wrote them down or anything...)
I was kind of bummed out for the last few days, not depressed, but just kind of resigned.
Then, I went to a networking event today and meet some great people (used the new cards. I finally figured out that I could get a not crazy gmail by adding "DC" to my old AOL address.) One guy wanted to talk to me about being on the board of a small HBCU in Virginia. I'm also setting up a lunch next week to talk with a guy who owns a consulting firm that works exclusively with the legal industry.
Then I got a call from the Connecticut folks that they want me back for a second interview. I feel like I should buy a lottery ticket.
Those sound like promising connections, Vortex.
That's a lot of good right there, Vortex.
