		<description><![CDATA[Freelance Switch is a fairly new blog about design freelancing. I&#8217;ve been enjoying their articles and the ensuing discussions. I had meant to mention them last week, but it was their Monster List of Freelancing Job Sites post that reminded me to post about them.  They seem to have a knack for linkbait.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just entered the apparently crowded marketplace of xhtml/css coding services. While researching the field, I ran across about 5 or 6 services &#8211; mostly because they were running ads on various other websites.  Then I started looking on the search engines and the list grew to about a dozen. As time has progressed [...]]]></description>
