Smile Grammar tips, spelling tips, freelance writing and copywriting!

With blogging becoming so popular now and people wanting to get as much content as possible, grammar and spelling is often left behind. Do you remember what you were taught at school about grammar and spelling? Not many people do, so you are not alone!

My website, I hope, will improve grammar, spelling and writing in general. The website also focuses on freelance writing, copywriting, novel writing, writing for children and much more!

I am also going to start a job section as soon as I find the time!

If you have a blog or a website in the writing niche, I am happy to exchange links and post a recommendation for your site!

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it!

Sarah

I forgot to mention that the sites template is plain and boring! I am working on this by getting someone to create a unique template for the site! She is really busy at the moment and I am not booked in until June!

I have changed the template and the layout of the site. I would appreciate some reviews on the new layout!

Thanks everyone!

Hmm, the black on maroon is a little hard on my eyes, and i hink you could realy do with a header that is a little more extravagant. You have three ad skyscrapers in a row, I'd consider spacing them out a bit more.

Having something visual to more clearly demarkate the start of each post could also make it easier on the eyes. Even if it's just a narrow picture of a generic writing thing, like a collection of pens, a quill, scatterd newpapers or whatever.

And I appologise for my spelling!

Thank you for your honest review! I think the picture between the posts is a great idea. I thought the background and the writing may be a little dark, so I am looking to change that!

Thank you very much!

i agree with Ferox.. the color combination doesn't look good..

i also notice that the footer look a little messy.. maybe you can also reduce the number of post on the front page to avoid scrolling..

keep it up!..

The background color does not go with the font color. Please change it, it is difficult to read

Thats why I keep my spell check on. Even though, not on blogs of course but some forums, grammer is left behind. And oh.... IRC..... Who uses proper spelling and grammer on IRC?

Right, another redesign!

Let me know what you think. I have took into account everything everyone has said, so I hope it is easier and better to read now!

A much easir colour scheme to look at! It wont stand out from the crowd but not at least it's easy to read. You may still want to keep an eye open for your perfect theme, but it's definitely an improvement.
