Soon to come!



Hello readers!

I 'm here to announce my plan to start writing tutorials for my site!

For starters you can expect to see a tutorial of responsive design 
(design that resizes with the browser).

After that, well, I don't really have any ideas for the future, so....
what do you readers want to learn more about?

All this and more in the near future!


Remember to join this site or just tell your friends.

WordPress Codex (GREAT help!)



If you're ever stuck trying to remember how to call the "searchform.php" file, 
or if you need to know how to use or make plugins Codex is the way to go!


The best part about it is that it's done by wordpress....so it can be more trusted.

Try reading through it like it were a wordpress book,
but...
remember to write out the code out yourself as it will help you learn better.
(personal experience ;) )




Don't forget to join this page, tell your friends about us, 
and tell us what you'd like to see more of.

Tips... Week 1: Remember to relieve stress!



When you learn something new you're usually easily overwhelmed, 
bogged down, tired and in the end.... Well, stressed! 

If you're stressed it is very hard to concentrate and retain what you are trying to learn;
and then it just seems like a wast of time, or you"ll feel like quitting.

As a freelancer or a web hobbyist you have to learn to overcome stress, 
because you are always learning something new!

Find something you enjoy doing to pass spare time.... a "Rubik's Cube", cards, etc.
and just take a break from code and computer screens! 

For me, I found that swinging a "Cold Steel" bokken training sword is relaxing
...

for me that is,  it might be different for you.

But the point is "give your brain a break!"

Welcome to Futuristic Freelancing

This site is my way of staying motivated to learn new things everyday on my six month journey to being a full-time freelancer.

My goal is to have a new post every day (don't count on it being the same time every day ;) ) enjoy!

I hope and pray that this site will be helpful to beginners (like myself) but also to professionals!

If you have any tips or corrections in what I say feel free to speak you thoughts in the comments.
