Tasha and Others

Archive for April, 2011

For all of the people perusing my blog, I’d like to say that this site is not only about dogs. I write about events that happen to me, as well as writing about a compelling variety of web content. This isn’t a resume or a sample of my work, although it does show that I can write and convey a topic that is current and promising. One is web 3.0, which I will discuss in another blog post.

Recently, I have been applying to a number of Content Editor and Content Writer positions around the Seattle area. If there is a part-time gig around, it would let me work on the web sites I currently write and edit for.

Big news for me in the editing world. I am now a member of the Northwest Independent Editors Guild. I sent them my resume and application, along with a check for thirty dollars, and they got back to me just yesterday. There is a plethora of topics on the site that have to do with editing.

I read the topics covered yesterday and today, and found all sorts of information about editing blogs. Here are the ones listed:

New York Times newsroom

Among other news, I’m going to add an RSS feed to my own blog. I also added the category “Editor” for this site.
