While I was looking around for an outsourcer for my web project, I remembered (I may have even mentioned it here once) an Open Source project called Joomla. Joomla is a content management system for web sites. What’s cool about it is that it requires little to no web programming, and there are tons of free templates out there for it, including Real Estate themed templates.
So, I went out and got an account with Blue Host. Blue Host has CPanel and Fantastico, both allow you to install packages, such as Joomla and WordPress, very easily. What’s nice about Blue Host is that they also allow you to host an unlimited number of websites, each as subdirectories under your main site and each appearing as their own site.
So I am in the process of migrating this site over to my new site…it is a work in progress. My new main site is FreelanceWisdom.com if you go there now, you will see the Joomla main page. Little by little I will be adding to it. If you go to FreelanceWisdom.com/projectnomad you will see my first attempt at migrating Project:Nomad to the site. I am not crazy about the wordpress template I am currently using; I’m still looking for a better one (let me know if you like it or not – I may just change the pictures). I will continue to contribute to this site while I am building my new site.
I have also created a site to rent my house. There are several components for Joomla sites, including slide carousels. I will use this to display pictures of the house and provide rental information.
Stay tuned…
First, an update on what I have been up to. As I mentioned earlier, the major work on the house is done and I had some left over little things that I need to finish. The problem is, I can only work on the weekends. I have been working late at my job, and I am just too tired to work on the house afterward. OK…I’m venting, but it hasn’t been easy. I also have been having problems finding a tenant screening service. The recent changes to the credit reporting laws make it impossible for landlords with one or two houses to be able to get credit information on prospective tenants.
Oh…and it’s tax time…need I say more?
I am trying to apply 4HWW to my situation though. I am working on a proposal to outsource the website design to market my house. It is just taking too much time to do it on my own, and really, it is something perfect to have someone else to do for me. I will post my experiences here on how it goes.
Now, before I get into my favorite sites (yeah, you’ll need to wait a little while more, but it will be worth it…) I want you to imagine the following situation.
Say you have a laptop. On the laptop, you have a basic operating system, and a web browser. That’s it.
No utilities, No applications (other than the browser), No suites…nothing… Basically you have what is known as a “Thin Client”.
The challenge is, can you run a business from the laptop?
Sure ya can, Sparky… just go here.
It is pretty cool. Everything you need, via Web 2.0 hosted applications. This is perfect for a freelancer on the move. I hope you find it useful.
