I used to write all the time and got out of the habit recently, when I had a kid and had to work full time again. I want to start a blog and maybe eventually do freelance writing, but that's a topic for the other thread. It's blogging a waste of time? What platform should I blog on if it isn't a waste? Do I need to pick a theme and stick with it, or can I just write about whatever is on my mind? I guess the goal I have with blogging is to be able to point to my blog when asked for a portfolio since I don't have any experience as a freelancer. Is that a terrible idea?

What kind of freelance writing are you hoping to do in the future?

I guess I haven't thought about that. A lot of what I've seen (and been interested in) is for articles on company blogs or for copywriters. I need to get started somewhere and most places want to see a portfolio, and I can't build up a portfolio of professional work if I can't get a job. My short term goal is to supplement my income and my long term goal is to do freelance writing for a career.

I have a question about Publisher 2016. I've been put in charge of the company newsletter and I have a photo with a transparent background. When I'm editing, it looks great. When I email preview or email it to myself to see how it looks, the transparent image backgrounds and text box backgrounds are a lighter shade than it looked while working on it. How can I make the text boxes and image backgrounds actually transparent so it blends?
