Welcome freelancers!
Welcome dear freelancers. You’ve found the brand new (literally minutes old right now) Podcast For Freelancers (with a blog). We’re currently bashing about the keyboard to finish things off, kicking up lots of dust and mess. Over the next few days things will get tidied up and updated.
So what can you expect from this new site?
Plenty of good stuff! This site is aimed squarely at those who are either freelancing now, or looking to freelance. It will provide you with help, advice, tips & tricks to improve your freelancing business or even just to make that leap. This awesomeness will be delivered by blog posts, and by a podcast, coming within the next week.
Can I join in?
The great thing about the web now is that it makes sharing and openness (is that a real word?) easier. You can use comments on this site to network with other’s, ask for help or just to chat. You can use the contact forms on the contact page to ask questions for the podcast, or suggest yourself as a person who’d like to be interviewed on the podcast / blog. You can also submit guest post’s to further promote yourself, and have your content featured here. Feel free to suggest any improvements or updates via the contact page.
Whats with the funky medieval theme?
Good question. Basically, its all inspired by the original origins of the word “freelance”. Apparently, a ‘freelancee’r” was a bloke (or blokette) with a free weapon for hire. I guess a lot had lance’s, and thus the term freelance stuck. Imagine them as the Boba Fett’s of Olde England :). Anyway, I took that theme, and brought in some castle’s, a cute little knight logo (also available as t-shirts) & a soon to be released evil baron (less cute). The theme also extends to the podcast.. which is coming next week hopefully.
All the stuff on the site (logo, blog theme design e.t.c) was created by me. If you’d like to hire meh, see the “Who are you?” section of this post.
Spread the word!
Ok, so you can tell Im excited. Or maybe not. But still, please go tell your freelance-friends, tweet about it, or do whatever you can to spread the news about this site.
Who are you?
In case your wondering who is this guy is, I’m a freelance web, logo, blog, email & icon designer from Yorkshire, in the United Kingdom. I’ve been a knight, sorry “freelancer”, for 2 years now. I love macs, land rover’s, google & The last of the summer wine tv program. I freelance from: http://www.bengribbin.com. I’m currently available for hire, so do feel free to get in touch 
Thats all for now, I’ll be back tomorrow with updates and new gubbinery.
Got any comments?

Congrats on the launch of the new site. Looking forward to seeing it develop. I’m considering freelancing a bit in 2009, so will need all the help I can get!
