Why wF Was Created

:psb_blogtitle: was created by Pariah S. Burke (me). It began as a service not only by me but also for me. As someone who is not only a creative pro software author, consultant, trainer, and fan, but also a freelance graphic and Web designer, I need to keep up with the latest news and information to help me design my own business.

But that information is published across hundreds of sites, by hundreds of writers, every week. I just don’t have the time to visit every site and check for new articles. I built :psb_blogtitle: (”wF”) to collect and categorize all that information for me. I could then get all the information I need to manage my business as a freelancer in one place, categorized according to my interests–the business of design, design inspiration, typography, resources and freebies, and other articles of interest to creative pros. In other words: wF prevents the critical information I need from slipping through the cracks and keeps me in the loop on all the information I need to succeed as a freelance creative.

It occurred to me that the rest of the creative professional community could also benefit from the unique service of :psb_blogtitle:, so here it is!

Although wF may appear at first blush to be fully automated, it isn’t. I’m here every single day. Every publication and writer you find on wF is handpicked. If I’m not adding or refining a new feature, tweaking the code, checking for broken links, or adding new writers and publications, I’m reading the latest articles and advice right alongside the thousands of readers like you who follow on workflowFreelance.com, Twitter.com, or by e-mail and RSS.

Advertising Supported
