Same. Thank you for taking time to join us on the chat this morning. It helps knowing that we have others in the same boat. It's harder when it feels like you're alone in this.

As with Angela - always happy to give you my $.02 for what it's worth. Anytime!

Plugins are testy and sometimes don't play well with others. If you get a chance, sketch out what you'd like your portfolio to look like and we can discuss some options. Maybe even a subdomain site that has a similar theme but is customized for the portfolio... Tons of options.

My pleasure. Been a while since I got to play ringleader around here.

It's easily done. Let me know if you want to talk some options. You already have what you need - probably just some organization and you'd be good to go.

IMO - it's already there. You're website is FULL of your writing expertise with your blogging and other articles, prose and what have you. I also usually suggest samples on demand so that they aren't plagiarized.

Jealous. Ours won't talk to us. But then I'm considered a dirty lib for wanting the "for the people" part of the government to actually apply to me. #SelfishME

My House Rep is still +$1M richer from PPP loan forgiveness. Even as he's supporting cuts/elimination to SNAP, cancer research, student loan revamp all because the dirty libs want people to eat, be educated and have affordable healthcare.

Ditto WordPress based websites. Of course the portfolio style depends on the work being showcased - photos vs prose vs products. But WP is nice because you can easily switch webhosts if you need to make a change. Much harder w/proprietary hosts like Squarespace. #freelanceFriends

@strotebook.bsky.social - please continue I meant just in case that wasn't clear from the post I cannot edit.

Please do. I don't know if real Americans truly know there's a better way in other places. Of course, if we could stop villainizing being poor. Or if we could convince folks that a healthy population was an investment in their business... (Don't mind me - it's been a week)

It's going to be brutal. Don't think we're going to be able to swing it honestly. (Thank YOU red state republicans.) At least SNAP is funded until Sept 2026 now. And right before the height of election season. I hope those jerks get the season they deserve. #TheCrueltyIsThePoint #FreelanceFriends

Especially when phone screens can be so small and hard to read if the app isn't well-designed for mobile. I also have a Wi-fi only spare phone that I install apps if I need to for some reason. Not sure if that keeps them out of my day to day data, but I feel better. #FreelanceFriends

AI is so frustrating. On one hand, it does great things esp for accessibility (like your transcription helper.) But this garbage where they are stealing content for some program to regurgitate "art" - no thank you. If I wanted to read prose by Clippy, I'd teach middle school. #FreelanceFriends

Please pass along my thanks - preferably in tangible ways like pets and treats.
