New Features at AWE

Allow me to direct your attention to the right column on this blog's web page. First you find a gold box asking you to vote for A Writer's Edge in the 2008 Writer's Digest 101 Best Websites for Writers competition (just click on it to open an outgoing email message to WD). Many thanks.

Below that is a nifty feature by which you can subscribe via FeedBlitz to receive posts automatically by email. I must admit, I'm seeing how many people might be interested in receiving writing help this way. I'm still contemplating starting a newsletter. Signing up for the email feed won't, however, automatically put you on any mailing list.

The third box in the right column is something new. I finally wrestled Yahoo!'s intricate code into a search box that barely fits in the column. Click on the Yahoo! logo and enter a keyword or phrase, then click on the grey Search button. Yahoo! wanted it to take up 300 pixels. I wanted no more than 175. I win, for now! Better yet, it works much better on this website than the leading search engine. I discovered Yahoo!'s more thorough indexing as I searched for all my posts on Writer's Block and Creativity. Soon I hope to have them gathered into an eBook to add to the others. It just seems to me to be a natural companion volume to Be a Successful Writer.
