Moving On and Over...

The Moving On part:
This is the last (anticipated) post for this blog. Lots of recent changes to my job/career/freelance endeavors will prevent me from having the time to keep it updated. Additionally, one of the sites I published MANY of my how-to articles on has now ceased (at least in that capacity) so links to those articles in previous posts have also been removed. << Which means you may be seeing a lot of this: [ADDITIONAL CONTENT / ARTICLE LINKS REMOVED]  *sigh*


What better time than Spring for a little "housecleaning" right? "The only constant is change..."
The Moving Over part:
I do have two other blogs that I will maintain:

Free And Green Stuff (an eco-friendly/frugalista blog)

and my newest, more "personal/random" blog

Five Items or Less.

Hope to see you there!

Exploring New Ways to Earn a Living

I keep running into people that seem to be at a crossroads, trying to figure out which path should they choose when it comes to earning a living. Like myself, many are diversifying into areas that they might not have considered a few years ago, when the economy (at least on the employment side) felt a bit less fragile. But now, with so many unemployed, the focus is on finding ways to earn a living that provides NOW... not 8-10 years down the road. For some, that may be opening a franchise, or going back to school to gain a certificate or degree in a new field. For others, it may be turning a part-time hobby or business like selling handmade items on Etsy.com or selling collectibles on eBay into a full-time venture.

Here's a few resources for those that may be at the crossroads:
