Interview on SitePoint Podcast

Dec 26, 2008 Announcements

Last week I was interviewed for episode five of the SitePoint Podcast, about the book, as well as the twelve principles of successful freelancing, which I recently wrote about.

I’ve heard some of the discussion, and although I was suffering with a heavy cold, and had only a few hours sleep the night before, I still sound (for the most part…) coherent.

Thanks to the hosts, Brad Williams, Patrick O’Keefe, Stephan Segraves and Kevin Yank for having me on the show. They’re a great team, and it was an absolute honor to be invited.

You’ll be able to find the podcast on iTunes (search for ’sitepoint’), or via the SitePoint Podcast page from today, Boxing Day, Friday 26 December. Enjoy!

Blog design gets attention

Dec 22, 2008 Announcements

It’s always humbling to be given recognition by awards or gallery websites for the work we do, so it’s a pleasure to let you know that the great design work done by fellow Bam Creative designer, Jay Hollywood, has appeared on not one but four CSS and Wordpress galleries.

You can click on the four links below, to see the listing for this blog on the galleries featured;

I’m very pleased with the end result of Jay’s work, and excited to be given the nod by these four great gallery sites. Thanks to the reviewers at the four sites above, and especially to Jay for the great design work you’re viewing!

If you spot a link to this blog from any other galleries or sites, please let me know!

Dec 15, 2008 Announcements

Do you have a freelancing tip or idea to share with readers of this blog? Over the last couple of months, I’ve posted a 50 word tip or idea from various invited people from the industry. You can see all of them so far, under the 50 Words category.

Now, I’m calling on you to give me your own ideas and tips, in no more than fifty words, as well as a short bio of no more than thirty words, to publish here.

Have something to share? Please email me with the finished (spell checked) text, to ‘me at miles burke dot com dot au’ (no, I don’t like nasty spam).

…and the book is now for Sale!

Dec 10, 2008 Announcements

It’s been quite a journey so far, and yet a major milestone was reached today, with the book being released a few hours ago, and available for sale via SitePoint and other (online and offline) bookstores.

As a result, the Buy the Book and Download Free Sample pages of this blog have now been updated with the correct links, or you can just click right here to go to the book pages, over at SitePoint.

Now the real fun begins - reading customer reviews, participating in discussion generated by the book, and shouting from the rooftops ‘My book is now for sale!’.

Thanks for joining me on this journey. I appreciate it!

Cheers,

Miles.
