The Freelance Writing Jobs link is broken. Do you have the correct address?
Thanks!
sorry it was a blip. it’s working now!
It’s not broken, the site is just slow. Give ‘er another try.
Killer, the link is right (www.freelancewritinggigs.com, I just tested it again), but I imagine Deb & some of the other winners may be getting a few “brownouts” from getting lots of clicks this week.
Copyblogger has been a continuous source of inspiration for me and I thank you all for your fabulous work. Your site deserves the recognition and then some.
Congratulations! Hands down you guys truly are the best. Many sites offer help with marketing. Some specialize in blogging SEO tips. And others give insightful info on becoming a better writer. Copyblogger does it all with such a personal touch. Thanks for the help and always making me feel at home.

I love your articles! You’re the newsletter I look forward to reading every weekday. Thanks for the inspiration. I will continue to use your material on my blog.
Adding my congratulations to the list. Copyblogger might be directed at copywriters and bloggers, but the advice is universal enough it applies to all types of word work, including the kind of traditional journalism I practice. Keep up the good work.
