The refit of the blog has been completed without too many glitches. So we’re good to go.

That said, there are still a few issues to iron out. Things might keep changing and moving around.

The only really big issue at present is the fact that the header won’t display properly for anyone on Internet Explorer 5.5 or 6. It uses a PNG transparency, which IE 6 can’t display. I may be trying a few work arounds.

Or I might not bother, as IE 6 must be a bit old by now. You really should try Firefox, or Safari.

The refit has only really entailed moving to a new theme. I’ve invested in the excellent and exceptional Thesis Theme for WordPress. If you’re serious about your blogging, check it out. (And yes, that is an affiliate link).

Thesis is great for SEO (search engine optimisation), and very easy to use and customise. So I have no hesitation in recommending it.

I’m taking a few days off for Christmas and I’ll be back posting regularly in the New Year, when I have lots planned for the site.

One reader has asked for information on how I became a freelance writer. This has sparked several ideas for posts on the whole subject of how to kick-start a career as a freelance. One of these is already 2,000 words long and counting – and I have quite a way to go on it. So that’s what will be keeping me busy over the holiday season.

I’m also going to be returning to the subject of hypnotic writing (I know I keep promising to get back to this).

There will be more on copywriting generally, especially in connection with advertising and direct response. And I intend to start some regular features on how to write effective blog posts.

There’ll be more, lots more, on how to write headlines.

And I’ll also be posting about some of the best writing sites around on the web. I don’t have a blogroll on this site at the moment because I’m planning to have a page of links. These will include short (one sentence) reviews, to give an idea of what to expect at a particular site.

If you know of any writing sites that should be included, please let me know in the comments.

And if you have any requests for subjects to cover here on Write Mindset, please let me know, once again in the comments.

Have a great holiday and see you in the New Year.
