Allow me to introduce myself...

Hello everyone.
I wanted to take a minute and introduce myself to everyone. My screen name is NickD351 and I joined the site yesterday. A little about myself...I live and work in Chicago IL. I have been doing freelance design since 1998. I saw this site as a great opportunity to add to my portfolio and to keep my skills sharp in between my other projects. My personal website is www.decarlodesign.com. It is a pretty old site, but I am in the process of teaching myself Dreamweaver so I can redo it. If anyone has any questions for me, feel free to ask.

I look forward to becoming a useful contributer to the site.

Thanks,
Nick

Hi, Nick! Welcome to the community! Nice portfolio, it definitely qualifies for the design team!

thanks. So what's my next step. Do I participate in the Community Contests only? If so, how do I see which contests are still open.

thanks,
Nick
