Ann G.,

Totally off topic…You’ve mentioned the high cost of propane several times in this forum…suggestion: Is there any way you can lock in your cost for the next year? You may want to do so now, prices are bound to go way up.

Just a thought.

Re: Today.com – I actually emailed their support to find out if they’ll reassign blogs or what. After rereading the terms of the agreement, it says that they can cancel the writer’s agreement at any time, but leaves out how writers can get out. They’ve not responded to me at all.

It does say that writers can post as often or as little as they want, so I figure if I never post again that’s as little as I want, but it does make me wish I’d paid much closer attention to the fact that their terms do not give writers a way out.

Maryam – yep and I thought about it and decided I’d rather just have my own food blog that may or may not make money but any money it makes from ads is mine, as opposed to writing for someone else for $1 and maybe get a cut of the profits if I’m lucky. So I’m creating my own food blog this weekend. I know there are lots out there but I enjoy the writing so….

FYI – the email account on the last listing (freelance health newsletter) is no longer working – “quote exceeded.” If there’s any other way for you to reach that employer, alternate emails, etc. you might want to let them know. Thanks.
