All Freelance Writing (http://allfreelancewriting.com/) comes a close second. A very close second. Great articles, tons of job postings and lots of resources,. What’s not to love?

Freelance Writing Scene (http://www.freelancewritingscene.com/) is not as pretty as the first two—in fact it sort of looks like "Twitter for Writers," which means frequent updates to useful or interesting links.

Freelance Writing Jobs for Web and Print (http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/) bills itself as "the number one online community of freelance writers;" if that’s true, it’s with good reason. Very nice, indeed.

The Ups, Downs and Sometimes Insane World of Freelance Writing (http://www.insanefreelancewriting.com/) Frankly, the name alone makes this one worth checking out. I enjoy Jon’s writing style, too, but think he should put his full name somewhere on his blog—at least on his profile. My two cents, Jon.

Angela Booth’s Fab Freelance Writing Blog (http://www.fabfreelancewriting.com/blog/) is all about making a more than decent living as a freelance writer. She’s doing it, so she should know.

Freelance Switch (http://www.freelanceswitch.com/) is actually geared towards all freelancers, not just writers, but you won’t mind once you see how info-packed it is.

Ask Wendy-The Query Queen (http://askwendy.wordpress.com/) contains contest news, advice, links to Wendy’s book (smile) and happens to be one of the more attractive writing blogs out there.
