The ‘edit this entry’ template tag, or edit_post_link gives the blog owner and any other users with editing privileges to have a quick link to click on that will allow the user to edit an article.

There are quite a few sites dedicated to extending a helping hand. Some for free, some for a fee.
However, do not forget about the WordPress Support forums! It is a forum that is full of many people who regularly answer any questions that come up, even myself.

Are splash pages really necessary? Well, first off, in order to make a valid case, what is a splash page? A splash page is a website’s entrance page.

Web Design, uses your creativity and can run low from time to time, just like a writer can experience ‘writer’s block.’ However as much as that can be an excuse, there really is no such thing as a creative block. It is all in the designer’s mind. Some of this can be spurred on from the following:
* Physical limitations due to lifestyle choices (ex: stress, sleep problems)

* Too busy or too much on your plate
* Not enough knowledge in field to complete certain projects
* Lack of motivation.
These are things that can be changed by taking a positive approach. I love to write as much as I love to design. I design like I write, which means I do the following: make sure I keep focused with the design before doing anything else….

What is a Freelancer?
Freelance is:
A person who sells services to employers without a long-term commitment to any of them.
taken from Free Online Dictionary
Being a freelancer takes someone who is tenacious and is confident in their work. A freelancer also must be honest with what they know, yet be resourceful to get the job done. With websites like the above, you also have to be willing to invest money and the time in bidding for available projects.

Theme My Profile allows your users to change their profile using your site’s theme. Everything in your WordPress admin panel to address your profile from description and password can be accessed. So, essentially, it ‘hides’ the WordPress look. This is great for multiple users on a blog.
In fact, I have been exercising this on Blogrity.com which is basically in alpha version. You are welcomed to try the site as it is being developed more. Excuse the mess. I will add a forum to get feedback for it, but in the meantime, you can use the contact form there
