I changed the template on this blog– like it? I made the change after using my Facebook class blog for awhile. I like the color palette, the rounded edges, and the text font.
Today I received word that a query of mine has made it past the first line of review and is going on to the next editorial board meeting. This is very exciting for me, as it fulfills several of my writing goals for the year at once: it’s for a nonfiction feature, it’s for one of my target markets, and while corresponding with the editor, I was able to send her several links to my own work because I already had it all collected on this blog/site. Keep your fingers crossed for me until the first week in March, okay?
Next on my to-do list: sending out a few poems that just boomeranged back to me, otherwise known as “not getting discouraged” or remembering “not to take rejection personally.”
Hey, Jackie! I like the font and rounded edges, too. The color palette comes across as too fuzzy/dreamlike, if that makes sense. I would make a bolder, stronger choice because the light blues draw the eye out of focus.
I think a subtitle would be good too, but no colon necessary. Maybe a statement about the purpose of the blog?
Hmm– that’s an interesting point about the palette, I’ll have to poke around and see what other templates I like in those available for free accounts, and then see how they compare.
A purposeful subtitle! Sounds good.
