    This won't be postings for immediate jobs, b/c I simply won't support job posters with excessive demands on writers if they're not going to pay quite a bit of money for it, and I really don't see someone willing to pay enough for me to justify accepting that kind of paid placement.

    That's good. However, it's still possible to be late delivering something that is due in a week, just because your Thursday ends later than the buyer's Thursday. Sometimes things go wrong and that extra time you leave yourself actually gets used up.

    I can add it as a suggestion to the area where they need to detail the project.

    Project details never hurt. What about an area where bum clients are listed, be it for non-payment or any other reason. If I am going to take a freelance job, I'd like to know if the person I'm dealing with is credible.

    We're only talking about what I should require in the job postings themselves when I sell individual posts. :) The writer getting the gig is always free to comment on the advertiser afterwards, and they can be set up with a category for each advertiser, so if there's someone posting again later, you could check feedback easily. It's a blog and not a freelance marketplace, so I won't be adding any kind of rating system other than that.

    I really like your freelance writing blog Jenn! It's a great supplement to Deb Ng's blog, which I've frequented for some time. You've got stuff that even she doesn't have.
