[stylist] Quick poll

[Brad Dunse']

Some of us do have bios up, but they are more like "Here's  my brief 
history" kind of thing, at least mine was, but yes, a professional 
shingle page would be helpful. Our songwriter group here has a 
member's page that has a link to the person's email, a little bit 
about what they do if they wish, and also optional is a sampling of 
their work. I'd gotten a $300 writing job off that page. Actually I 
never got him the songs he wanted due to  his canceling out the 
project but he wouldnt' take the money back :). Point being, clients 
might well look at it  as they search out writers for projects or 
even to contact for mentorship or accountability.

Another idea  as long as I'm here that might be a good thing to do, 
of course it would take time and who of us has extra of that these 
days, but if we could somehow skim off or collect  the various 
resources we use as writers. Everything from the newsletters as was 
in a recent thread, to which dictionaries or thesauruses are 
good/accessible/etc. Rather than someone reinventing the wheel, I'm 
always looking to look for a tire store :). If everyone were to email 
the various resources when they ran across it or better yet, when 
they use it, maybe there could be a page dedicated to links to them? 
I'd guess emailing one person who would be willing to organize it 
rather than listwide posts. I've done similar on my own with 
songwriting resources in html format, and it can be pretty time 
consuming but very honestly it could be even a link to a downloadable 
XLS spreadsheet where resources are all listed alphabetically and 
presssing enter on the resource wil take you there.

Just a thought.
