Thanks, Byron and Steve Parks, for your comments. I'll give both sites a whirl...if nothing else, I'll look at them as marketing tools.

Now you get a 30-90 day trial from what I hear....I thought of re-registering but have taken enough certification like tests to date.

This is probably a bit off-topic, but have anyone actually used Elance (either as a provider or a client), and if so, how was your experience? I am asking because the competition on Elance seems quite a bit stiff, especially with many people out of country offering service for very low rates. Also, have anyone tried Guru.com as well?

I've been on this list for over a year, though mostly as a lurker. I'm looking for freelance or "as-needed" basis work in Cold Fusion, PHP or Asp.Net (C#). If you happen to have that application with a mile-long change request list that you can never find the time to do, or just need to have a website cleaned up or data massaged, I'm your person. I have over 10 years of experience with web development, 9 years in Cold Fusion. I'm based in Houston, but the work doesn't have to be local as long as it can be "outsourced". You can check my website, www.ideasculpt.com for more information. (Just to be clear, I am not looking for a full-time job or contract-to-full-time gigs.) - Angeli Wahlstedt, IdeaSculpt LLC --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the "Houston ColdFusion Users' Group" discussion list.
