As you are no doubt well aware, we made some changes. In addition to making a prettier blog, I wanted the Freelance Writing Jobs home page to provide better navigation to this and the other six blogs in this network. This should be the last format change for a very long time. The Men with Pens outdid themselves this time, didn’t they? I’d like to thank them for all their hard work and patience throughout the evolution of FWJ. If you have a blog design/redesign or other project, do give them a ping. They’re top notch and they rock the [Read more…]
