I insist on telecommuting only, I'm always booked solid and turning
away customers.  My business website sucks rocks because I don't
have time to update it.

That being said, I have my resume on monsterboard, dice, ework, ants,
and jobs for programmers.

There is a place out of L.A. called Art & Logic that posts on occasion to
www.tjobs.com that is telecommute only for web work, programming, etc.

When I first got started, I searched everywhere on every job board.
telecommuting.about.com (i think that's the right url) helped a lot
as well.

Don't give up.  Don't change your requirements.  I get a call a day from a 
recruiter.

Network with us.  I prefer programming and am always looking for more people
to do html.  I try to use people from HWG to refer to my clients who need 
graphical
work, or page layout, or html development.

I would love to see an hwg list like Franklebees or freelance where you can 
say what you have
and what you're looking for.   I get the impression that the jobs email 
list is for jobs and
not subcontract or referral work.

We can change the world one telecommuting contractor at a time.
