As you can see, I’ve changed the theme here at AFW. I mentioned a while back that this was coming. I also promised in the newsletter that I would update you on where you could find things with the changes. So here you go:
1. The newsletter signup, category links, and blogroll are essentially in the same place, so there shouldn’t be any problems there.
2. I’ve included archive links (previously unavailable) in the inner right column to help you better navigate to older posts.
3. I’m still making a few minor changes to the site, but you’ll soon be able to find links to the writing blogs list, forums, and freelance writing jobs blog again in the header. (EDIT: These should now be available.)
4. The search box is now located a bit higher, on the right, below the leaderboard ad. There is no job search bar anymore, so we should have less confusion for those searching.
5. You may have noticed that the freelance writing jobs options have been removed from the category list. These were being redirected to the jobs, which were previously moved back to their own domain at AllFreelanceWritingJobs.com. You can find the job categories there (the theme will be changed there to match here shortly). Job posts still actually located here will be removed (they would be too far outdated to be helpful anymore, and this will get them out of the archive lists – they should also already be in the new domain’s archives).
Other than that, I hope the layout is simple enough, the fonts are large enough, etc., but this is pretty much how the site’s going to look moving forward. If you’re looking for something and just can’t seem to find it, leave a comment. I’m hoping I didn’t miss something, but hey… I’m only human.

Looks pretty good, except for one thing. The sky blue background and blue text of the sidebars totally clashes with the red-whwite-grey-black of the rest of the site. Consider dumping the background, or go with a very light grey, and change the text to some shade of…something not blue. Dark red would probably work.
Is that background color better?
The link color is something I’m not going to change though… blue links are traditional, and work well enough with most color schemes… and my own experience tells me it really does make a difference in getting people to click links deeper into the site.
