Brad and others:
#1 We have talked about a resource page --- I believe we all agree of the
importance of one. It's been dropped with no one wanting to spearhead the
effort. So if we get the right person ---- we can do it! (Jim has appeared
to have voiced his services and I'll get him (Jim) and Peter our present
webmaster together and we'll look at getting this moving!)
#2 We should push to get members BIOs and other interesting facts and
services up. (Not a requirement for membership, but an opportunity to get
yourself known.) Advertising your skills is a good thing.

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.
