The Independent's Frontline

A column dedicated to freelancers and other independent professionals in the web industry. It's written by independents for independents and serves to provide insights and tips for staying productive, balancing work and family time, finding inspiration, using new tools, et cetera. This column isn't related with using Textpattern CMS. It's also a rotational column, meaning it only appears in a given issue if an article is available.

Hope for the Future

TXP's equivalent to an opinion column. Contributing authors can write about most anything, though we ensure it's relevant to the CMS industry in some way. This column is rotational.
