Just a brief post today: I added the demo page that I made for Startup Weekend to my portfolio page. I've also added a much bigger site that I've built for my D&D gaming group.
I also had breakfast with a few potential employers this morning at the Grand Circus offices. My mentor assures me that I could get a front-end development job with the skills I have right now, but the pay would be pretty low--about half of what I used to make as a tech writer. If I can learn some back-end programming and thus be capable of full-range web development, that would be worth about twice as much--so, roughly what I was earning as a writer, and probably a little more.
Got some thinkin' to do... do I work (very) cheap for the sake of faster professional development, or try to get another tech writing job for the sake of income while I continue to learn and improve my dev skills in my spare time? No easy answer....
