		<description><![CDATA[About a month ago I was contacted by a company who had a big job (from my perspective as a freelancer), a WordPress conversion project, and a very short deadline. I chatted with the project director, the developer and a few others and was hired to do a small proof-of-concept task to both determine if [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I started my web design studio, Red Kite Creative, in 2005, but only in the past few months have I begun delegating occasional work to subcontractors. It&#8217;s very important to me that I retain close control over anything design-related, so mostly I&#8217;m subcontracting for programming, with a little templating thrown in. I&#8217;ve learned a few [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a great way to behave yourself right out another work opportunity if you sub for others: sign up for a conference and spend four days there, one day before a critical project deadline on a multiphase job &#8211; and don&#8217;t tell the people who hired you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I guess you just don&#8217;t know until you try. I&#8217;ve worked with several subs this year. From some, I&#8217;ve gotten great work &#8211; clean code, a job done in quick order and correctly. From others, I&#8217;ve gotten junk &#8211; messy code (which makes me cringe), a job abandoned in the middle or some problem that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, my outsourcing experiment is over &#8211; here&#8217;s how it went down. I chose one of the programmers (I got five bids of $12-20) because he/she had four good reviews, but they never responded. So I chose the second respondent and he got back to me in about a half hour. We talked twice via [...]]]></description>
