Writer's Notes Reviewed by Top Site of the Day

Notice Anything Different About My Blog?
You may have noticed quite a few changes at Writer's Notes today: changes in my blog's template, in the style and placement of Google ads displayed on my site, and in the relative--and actual--placement of virtually everything in the Writer's Notes sidebar! My blog's new level of organization and more visually pleasing symmetrical look is a natural outgrowth of the guidelines received from a very savvy blogger/reviewer who graciously took the time to drop by and check out my site.
A Writer's Notes Review
Charles Young, of Top Site of the Day, reviewed Writer's Notes yesterday. I was very honored to have this opportunity, to not only receive a largely positive assessment of my blog, but also to be the recipient of some great feedback on how my site scored and why, which helped me implement some positive changes here at Writer's Notes. These changes should make my site a little less confusing, a lot easier to navigate, and a great deal more attractive than previously--which I hope my readers will like as much as I do!
The Review Itself: Short and Mostly Sweet
If you'd like to check out the very succinct review my blog received--and become acquainted with an informative blog-review site, while you're at it--Charles's review of Writer's Notes may be found at the following link: Notable Site: Writer's Tips and Help.
Value Added: The Personal Touch
The review itself goes into far less detail than Charles was gracious enough to do, for me, after receiving my e-mailed inquiry about the "missing elements" that would help make my blog a Top Site.
I'd just like to say a hearty "Thank you!" to Charles Young, at Top Site of the Day, for not only taking the time and effort to visit and review my blog, but also for very graciously explaining the criteria upon which his review was based, the possible scores compared to my blog's actual scores, and the specific reasons why some of my blog's scores fell short of the mark.
Lesson Learned: Blogs Are Dynamic, Not Static
His patient explanations have been incredibly helpful in reminding me that a blog is a dynamic, rather than a static entity, and that, just because our blogs may not be all that we want them to be today, that's no reason why they should remain that way tomorrow!

Thanks, Charles! Now, if only you would review my blog again! I'm sure I'd do a little bit better this time around!
Here's to a better blog!
Jeanne

Congratulations on being selected. Your blog looks great!
Charles offers a good service on his site. I am doing some behind the scene tweaks to my blog.
Maybe I'll submit it for consideration when I'm done.

I think it would be a wonderful idea to submit your blog for consideration! Though your site has always looked great to me, I'm sure we can all think of improvements we could make to our blogs if we really try.
I look forward to seeing the changes you're making at Grow Your Writing Business--as well as its eventual review at Top Site of the Day!
