10 January 2010

What have you learned from the past that allows you to create a new beginning in 2010? January is a great time for new beginnings and this month I’d like to introduce “beginnings” as a theme.
In November 2009, Web Betty gave Writer’s Round-About an excellent technical review. She corroborated some ideas I had for changes I wanted to make to the blog theme. Today, I launch WRA’s tweaked theme, version 2.0, and I’d love to know what you think about the changes. What do you like? What do you hate? Do you have suggestions for things you’d like to see done differently?
Launching a new version of the WRA Theme is just one of the “beginnings” we’ll see on Writer’s Round-About this month. Later in the month we’ll share posts that relate to how beginnings affect us as writers, from how to find those first words that begin a new story or article, to how our beginnings, our headlines, our hooks, our opening paragraphs, impact the way readers interact with our content.
What comes to mind when you think of beginnings as a writer? Write about it and then consider beginning 2010 as a WRA contributor where you can share your writing with other freelancers from beginning to end?

Thank you for the great mention Rebecca.
I LOVE the new header. It is fantastic and really stands out. I like the changes you’ve made to pages and the navigation too.
I hope 2010 is a great year for you–you’re definitely off to a good blog start.

I love the new look.
Does it count that I am bias? Because I love everything you do.
But I am not alone. Lots of people love your work and they are not bias?
Love MUM lol
Thank YOU, Web Betty. I truly appreciate the fantastic feedback you gave and worked at knocking on the head each of the problems you brought to light. I’m looking forward to being involved in the continued growth of Writer’s Round-About as a community and value your support. I hope your 2010 is a great year for you too!
You’re allowed to be biased, Mother. :-p And your opinion, biased or otherwise, is as valued as all the wonderful people who come together to make WRA the fantastic site it is. I’m glad you like it.
