If you’re ever in need of a quick and professional 3d object design, you should definitely check out Milan Antovics’ portfolio.
This guy made me a logo to my exact specifications within hours of me asking, all the way through the process he sent me updates (usually within a couple of minutes of providing details) and was able to send me every kind of format of picture that I could want.
Here’s the final design.
Awesome! You can see more examples of Milans 3d work at his 3D Portfolio Site and in most cases, you should be able to get a completed project done for less than 100 USD! how’s that for value?!
I got in contact with Milan initially through GetaFreelancer.
I have used GAF before and I have found it to be very easy to post a project, within minutes of being posted there were quite a few responses and bids from prospective freelancers. You have your own private message board so you can stay in touch with each freelancer.
When you have someone you want to do the work, you put the fee into escrow ready to release when the project is finished.
Easy peasy freelancing!

Nice, you got good work from my fellow countryman
Btw. when is AJAX Commentluv planned to be out? I can see it in action here already.

go Serbia! some of the best value outsourcing I have had done has been from places like Serbia and Romania. UK and US freelancers I have worked with almost always seem to have a superiority complex and try to tell me what I should want!
I was intending to have the AJAX version of CommentLuv up already but I’ve had a whole bunch of commercial projects come in after Christmas so I need to devote my time to finishing them first. (ker-ching!)
also, I manually added the bits for the AJAX functionality to my template and it’s a little different to put it into the plugin so it adds the javascript includes automatically in such a way so that it doesn’t conflict with other AJAX plugins that use things like prototype.js and jquery.
Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later!

gg Serbia really
Re: ajax commentluv there is about a five second freeze of my computer when I tab from url to comment field and I think it might be ajax working 100% cpu, have you checked that?
Also firebug shows considerable amount of javascript errors on this page as I work it, maybe something to investigate.

hello, I downloaded comment luv and uploaded through my ftp but for some reason it does not show up up in the plug-ins page in the admin panel. So I deleted and readded and still nothing. I used the do follow plug in to make my blog follow but the plug in still isn’t showing up. Can you possible help me out? I really would like to use this beecause I think it will encourage more people to comment.
Thanks

Vladimir:
the process for the AJAX part of commentluv starts when a keyup is deteced on the comment area, the script checks for the presence of a hidden attribute, if it is there then it will go off and search for the feed and at the same time remove the hidden attribute. This prevents it from firing every time a key is pressed. once it finds the feed it will put it in the div below the commentform. I haven’t noticed any CPU intensive periods when it does this as the javascript only fires once the first key has been pressed (or after the tab key is released if you’re tabbing into the comment area).
I use jquery to do the magic and that seems to work dandily for everything else without the cpu having a heart attack.
anyone else notice this?

Jenn: there should be a single file called commentluv.php , that is the only file that you need to upload to your plugins directory. it should then show on your plugins page. I can’t make it any simpler!

OKay, I will look into it, I downloaded the plug in from wordpress and it comes zipped up and when I unzip there is a lot of folders and then when it comes over to ftp it winds creating 2 directories. I will look into maybe I did something wrong
Thanks!

jenn: I have emailed wordpress about it as there should only be 1 php file and 1 readme file inside. just upload the commentluv.php that you find in the /trunk/ folder and that should get it working.
I’m away all day today so I will try and sort it out on the weekend

That’s quick and it looks great. I’ve checked out GAF as a freelance writer, and the amount that clients were willing to pay was insulting. It was mainly $2 – $5 for 300 – 500 word articles? Gah!

That’s odd, my link is still showing an old post, any ideas why?

opal: yes I saw similar things too, I think it’s a better deal for the buyer rather than the seller on GAF. There are many that will do work for next to nothing because they are new or inexperienced. as a buyer, I have to sort the wheat from the chaff. it’s not always the cheapest that is best.
about your feed: sometimes feedburner puts your feed as your normal location plus a few extra characters. In your case, your feed location of …com/blog/feed points to http://feeds.feedburner.com/veganmomma/khQh and CL has real problems getting forwarded to a feedburner URL like that so it used the last post it had in it’s cache.
I still haven’t figured out how to force the magpie rss function to follow that type of feedburner feed. it should do it automatically but for some reason it doesn’t
#1126.01.08 2:21 pm
I agree the cheapest isn’t always the best.
You might be surprised I’ve actually seen people who’ve been writing for a while bid on those low paying jobs. However I think some of them don’t have faith in their writing abilities. It’s insane.
Re: Feed
That is odd. I’ve noticed the same thing with others also at least I’m not the only one.

getafreelancer is definitely a buyers market. although, some of the good value work I have had done there has led to a lot more work going to the same person. If someone does something well for me for a comparatively low price, I always try and push more work their way even if I don’t need it done straight away so a) I feel better and b) they feel more worth.
I’ve seen evidence of some that do something for less to get established, once they have decent feedback and a good portfolio of successful jobs their ‘worth’ increases and can start to bid for higher paying jobs with more success.
a ‘one-off’ job that gets posted will predominately get a lot more cheaper bids, when someone has more experience of posting jobs and having the work done, they learn which people are worth paying that little bit extra for.
ref Feeds: I don’t think the extra characters on the end of the feedburner feed are permanent, they go back to normal after a while. I still can’t get their support to understand what I mean when I explain to them the problem.
