Hi everyone, To be perfectly honest and up front, I was drawn to this community via Google while searching for freelance work as a web designer/developer. My goal is to be able to utilize the Buy, Sell or Trade forum as much as possible. However! .... Before and after registering I did take a good look around, and I like the look and feel of the place, so even though my intentions are self-motivated, I also want to become a valued member of the community. I'm sure I have much to offer, and it's only fair that I participate and give a little - or a lot. My basic story is I've been online since October 1998, started learning HTML in March 1999, had my first website up by mid-April of the same year, and started into online marketing 3 months later in July. Since then I've built a semi-lucrative career in both ventures, riding the ups and downs as usual. At this time things aren't as good as they used to be, so I've been scouting the Web for any freelance work I can find. So here I is, and while I hope to find some work here, I also hope to make new friends and make this another regular pitstop as I surf the 'net. Thanks for reading. CBI Web
