    Thanks Guys!
    I really enjoy your podcast and the comfort that the issues that I often face, are in fact not unique but quite common with the freelance designer.

    Always a good listen before I hit the pillow for sleep,

    May I suggest that every episode you bring in a guest on the panel. I am not saying what you have is bad, I do enjoy it but I think it is good to have a fresh input. Hope you take this into consideration.

    Correspondences between clients and contractors during a project often occur via emails. Can emails be considered as legal documents especially if there are changes to the initial agreement? Can these issues be agreed upon via email since it is not always convenient to take the time to get an updated contract signed?

    I save all emails especially those with sensitive information. You can also put it in your contract that subsequent communication via email is valid:)

    Thanks for the advice I will update my contract to include this clause. I am hoping that maybe the panel can discuss this topic a little bit further in an upcoming podcast.

    I have also had a few clients who have used the “I did not receive that email” line with me. I have most recently started looking into email tracking options. Some services reveal the dates and times that the emails were opened and reopened, the read duration time, the ip address, the browser and pc id of the user. Others can even track forwarded emails. This level of tracking in my opinion maybe an invasion of a person’s privacy however I think I also have the right to track my correspondence and if the need arise to prove that the correspondences were received.

    LOL!!! I am listening to this podcast right now – great, by the way! I was so laughing my butt off because when Von mentioned kneebreakers.com – I was just chuckling about how many people probably went over to the computer and tried that site out! I was about to when you guys said it wasn’t real – LOVE how geeked Kristin was about it too. Too funny!!
