How to use WordPress as a Truly Customized CMS (Multiple Headers, Footers, Sidebars and more!)

WordPress as a CMS

I love WordPress… ok scratch that… I ADORE WordPress! I have used it for several of my own personal blogs, as well as to develop blogs and web sites for clients.

However the more I use it – especially for my own projects where I have full creative reign – I am constantly amazed by just how much it is capable of.

How To Be A Rockstar Freelancer

Link Love

I just came across a new Ebook from one of my favorite blogs! Freelance Switch is an amazing blog for Freelancers. I’d just about have to say that it actually is my favorite blog.

They’ve recently published a 212 page Ebook titled How to Be a Rockstar Freelancer. (Currently available as an Ebook… due out in Paperback in January 2008!)

I haven’t gotten my hands on a copy yet – this book is extremely high on my wish list, though… if I get a little extra Christmas money, I very well plan on spending some of it right here. ;)

So anyway, I can’t give my own review, but from what I’ve heard from other people who have read this book, it is a great resource. It apparently covers information that is not included on the blog. Goodness knows I’ve received invaluable advice from the Freelance Switch blog, so I can only imagine how much more helpful this book will be.

Topics include…

  • Getting Your First Jobs
  • Scoping & Timeframes
  • Pricing Yourself
  • Doing the Job
  • Clients
  • Getting Paid
  • Marketing Yourself
  • Building a Business

This sounds like a truly great read. A perfect last minute Christmas gift for any Freelancers out there. ;)
