			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have decided to take freelancing seriously at last.  Up to this point, I have relied almost soley on referrals from gamers, and personal networking, which to be honest only gets one so far in a small town like <a class="zem_slink" title="Santa Fe, Texas" rel="geolocation" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=29.3805555556,-95.1041666667&amp;spn=0.1,0.1&amp;q=29.3805555556,-95.1041666667 (Santa%20Fe%2C%20Texas)&amp;t=h">Santa Fe, TX</a>.  To that end I am extending my presence on the web, sharing my work, my thoughts, my insights with whomever chooses to look. </p>
<div><a href="http://www.elance.com/experts/Korine129&amp;rid=1K52W" target="_blank"></p>
<p></a></div>
<p>I have also finally put up an all inclusive portfolio of my work at deviant art portfolios. This is a new service the company is providing for free, of course it also has upgrade options for a few.  That said, the free service is perfectly acceptable and highly professional.</p>
<p>I have also signed up on <a class="zem_slink" title="Elance" rel="homepage" href="http://www.elance.com/">Elance</a>, we shall see how that turns out.  It seems like a very professional freelance site, that creates work oppurtunities not only for those who have been there forever, but for the new user as well.   I am particularly impressed with the skills test feature, allowing providers to certify thier skills.   I will keep you up to date on my thoughts on thier service as I go. </p>

<p>The first order of business, before I can begin to bid on anything of worth, is to pump up my sadly lacking portfolio.  While<strong> I</strong> may know I have the skills, my current portfolio does not reflect that as well as I&#8217;d like it to.  I have some projects coming up, that will help with that already, and I might just have to create some imaginary clients as well:).  Ideas anyone?</p>
