I found it a bit confusing at first too... but once I realised what was happening and I had to update my feeds then I am all ok now :) What an achievement for you, I am excited for you to be so busy that you need a network of blogs! I do read all the articles as well as the leads, so I will be one that will read it all.

What an achievement for you, I am excited for you to be so busy that you need a network of blogs! I do read all the articles as well as the leads, so I will be one that will read it all. I appreciate all the info and advice, it has helped me.

It's just a bit confusing for the readers at first, but they'll figure it out soon enough. ;) Deb, don’t get discouraged!

You're creating a go-to place for advice and leads for freelance print and web writers/bloggers. I've already put all five websites into my RSS feeder so I can keep up with what is going on with each site. I can see how you would be disappointed with the low response on the non-leads posts. Kind of like you're feeling, "they only like me for my leads." While there are probably some who really only want the leads, there are many of us who enjoy this community and know there's a lot to learn here. Give us a while to get used to the new format. Can I offer a couple constructive suggestions? Actually, I'm finding the new format a little hard to get used to. Having each site named "Freelance Writing Jobs and ..." can get confusing. My suggestion, and you're welcome to throw it down toilet if you want, would be to switch the titles around. This site would be "Network Blogging Tips on (or at) Freelance Writing Jobs" And also, since the job leads are the biggest draw, it might help if you make an easier way to get to them from the other sites. From this page, it's not easy to figure out how to get to them. One other suggestion. Would it be possible for you to put one last post in the old freelancewritinggigs.com for those who did have you in their RSS feed? An announcement that they will no longer be receiving posts from that site and then give the readers the five addresses to add to their RSS feeder to continue to get all the great posts here. You know I'm a faithful reader, and I knew the change was coming and you'd be down for a short period of time, but I was waiting for a post to show up in my RSS feed when the changes were done and for everything to return to normal. When all was quiet for a couple days I went to the site and was surprised to find things up and running. Perhaps there are others like me who are just waiting to hear things are up and running again. Or maybe I'm the only dope who didn't know what was going on. Thanks for all you do for us. Hey Deb,
