(As Charlie Babbitt from Rainman would say, "it's sparkly.") One bit of feedback that I think would be most beneficial to the site's visitors: if the links would change color once we've clicked on them (a different color for the "a:visited" attribute), that would help us know a few minutes later that we've already clicked it.

New-ness. It's 6:00 am and my coffee maker is still running. Why won't freelancewritinggigs load? Oh, it is. New design. Ok, no problem. Just breathe. Garth: "We fear change." Agghh! New-ness.

So far so good. The site still looks awesome and my font size hasn't altered the way I see the page, except the fonts being larger.. :) I am using Verdana font at size 18; you would be surprised, it isn't that big, just right. Just go to Tools>Options>Content and you will see the font options there. Again, this is for Firefox, no IE.

Nastyg nastygrams all over!! (I hope it's obvious I am being sarcastic!) I think the whole theme is great, it really speaks to coffee (and tea) drinking freelancers who need that in the morning perk. Since I check this blog first thing in the morning with my first cuppajoe, it's cool to think of all those sharing it with me! James- I hate the brown. hate, hate hate. Nastyg nastygrams all over!!

LOL @ James I think it is sad that it needs to be explained web site changes cannot happen instantly. While some changes can be made throughout the day, most changes need to be done when the majority of visitors are not visiting; um...common sense states if the site is being worked on and something goes wrong, you may not get to see the site at all, chill and be patient...SO AGREE! While I think MOST have been very considerate, poor Deb and Jodee are always going to have those they cannot please; just part of customer service. But, I like many others LOVE these two ladies (oh that sounds so stalkish...oh well)and because of wonderful service they provide, I would visit no matter what design was used. I think everything looks great, and if I am correct, the font is darker now; unless I am totally losing all my marbles instead of just a few. ;) While larger font may be easier, it isn't always a good choice with some designs. I do not have bad eyes, but I am sure in another 10 years I may be wanting that size 15 font...LOL. @ Jodee and Deb I started adding a “C” to my name because I noticed another Laura…I am starting to get confused.

I am amazed that people can act so childishly! (I had a different word in mind but I'll restrain myself) Sounds like they need to get a hobby (or a therapist). I think I can accurately say that the majority of your visitors are beyond pleased with this site--no matter what colors are used. Thanks for all you do.

(I even thought it looked beautiful with the orange.) You took my vision of what i wanted this blog to be and made it come to life. You were patient, kind and helpful and I won't hesitate to recommend your service to others. Thanks for taking such good care of this place. James and Harrison, I think it looks beautiful.
