In these heady early days of blog discovery some of the posts I have been reading are on freelanceswitch.com, a great resource for anyone self-employed. I particularly love their ‘Freelance Freedom’ cartoons. I just have this image of lots of smug freelancers reading them and chuckling to themselves contentedly. Nothing wrong with that of course.

Of the many useful blog posts, one a few days ago entitled five reasons why freelancers should blog was the tipping point for me in deciding whether to start my own. This article also explains why Wordpress is a good blogging platform for making your posts visible on search engines (nice little plug there).
