The Get Paid To Write Blogging Plan
I’ve been following the Problogger 31 Days To A Better Blog Project, though I’m keeping to my own schedule. I’m running about a week behind, but since you can do the tasks anytime, it doesn’t really matter. One of the tasks from last week was to set a schedule for posting. I did a draft [...]

I’m just starting a new gig for a writing website. (Sneak preview is available here.) While I was checking over my articles, I noticed that some strange characters had appeared in the text.
