I’ve been receiving more thank you e-mails lately, which I appreciate greatly since it’s nice to know that my site is useful to some people. 
Here are a few recent notes:
“Three Cheers for Inkygirl!
Just a note of appreciation for your site. I have searched for a long time to find this since 1) I’m unemployed and 2) creative but have no money to sign on for all those other sites. Thank you.” - Jeanie
“Wanted to tell you what a wonderful site you have up on the WWW. I discovered it a while back on Hollylisle.com (now Forward Motion) but–beyond laughing my head off at the wonderful comic strips–didn’t have a chance to look over the rest of the site. Now that I have, I amazed at the amount of depth within (nicely enhanced with humor).
The site’s now one of my daily reads.” - Joel
Thanks for the thanks.

TJobs update: staff e-mailed me a new password which does work. I have to confess I’m disappointed by the offerings, though. Using my newly-acquired password, I’m clicking all the intriguing-sounding job description headlines only to find that most link to external pages on employers’ pages that can be accessed by anyone (quite a few seem to be listings I’ve already posted in Inkygirl). I had hoped that most of these were listings placed by employers themselves, since I already know how to search the Web for writing jobs.
No dates are given by any of the links, which means there’s no indication on how recent any of the listings are unless the info is given on the employer’s Web site. I’ve already come across one defunct listing. The few employer-posted ads I did find were often lacking in essential information, such as pay rate specifics…I would have to apply the job first before I could find out more.
However, membership also enabled me to post a resume and short description of the kind of telecommuting jobs I’m hoping to find. In theory, potential employers will be able to find my info in the TJobs database and contact me. I’ll keep my fingers crossed and hope that my US$10 membership fee turns out to be worth it. More on my TJobs experience in a future posting.

TJobs.com started added a lot more listings than before, so I bit the bullet and decided to sign up for a membership ($10/year). I figured it was also an excuse to check out the service to see if it was worth recommending.
My experience so far, however, has not been a good one. Paid my fee online, was given a password, but so far have not been able to login successfully. I’ve sent an e-mail message to support asking for help; we’ll see what happens.
