Hey, notice something a little different?
Copyblogger has a brand-new design, courtesy of our wonderful colleague, Rafal Tomal. Not only are we sporting a clean, new minimalist look, we’ve also added some nifty behind-the-scenes coding so we can make the site more dynamic and user-friendly.
As you might imagine, we’ve done a lot of testing, but there are still odd little errors that can make their way into any new site. If you spot one, just leave a comment or hit us up on Twitter. You’ll have our gratitude!
In addition to the new site excitement, we’ve got a new powerhouse (and nearly free) little resource for you that will help you build consistent habits to make your content better and work harder. You can learn more about it here.
Now that we’ve got that covered … let’s talk content!
On Monday, Stefanie Flaxman shared 10 modern proofreading tips to help save you from publishing embarrassing little mistakes.
On Tuesday, Loryn Thompson explored why the advice that “you are not your audience” can have a shadow side — and how to avoid the pitfalls it can lead you into.
On Wednesday, I talked a bit more about our new small but mighty resource, the Content Confidence Checklist, and why it’s well worth your time to pick this one up …
And over on Copyblogger FM, I chatted with Scott Ayres of Social Media Lab, who did some “social media mythbusting” with us. Freelance writers — check out what Scott has to say about the best content format for LinkedIn. I think you’ll find it intriguing.
That’s this week … next week, we’ll be taking Monday off for Labor Day, so we’ll see you with a fresh post from Stefanie Flaxman on Tuesday. For those who are heading into a longer weekend, enjoy!

Love the new homepage!
CSS Grid! 3 columns with named template areas!
Elegant, non-grid fallback for mobile devices and older browsers!
770 ms load time on Pingdom!
I’ve been learning and practicing web page layout this week. Can you tell? 😃

Ha, Hashim, I had no idea about all of that stuff. Editorial is mainly just, “Ooh, purple!” 😀
Congrats on the new site guys, it looks and feels amazing!
Thanks so much, Daniel! <3
That’s the word I’ve been looking for this week. “Snazzy!”
Sometimes you’ve just got to go with snazzy.
As I said in the previous post, congratulations on the new design!
It’d be great if you sold a similar theme in your StudioPress themes collection. I recently changed from one of your themes to another company (sorry guys, it’s me, not you), and the one I’m using right now it’s similar to yours. If I had the chance to have a theme like this one, I’d have definitely kept yours.
Anyways, kudos again! Keep up the great work.
Great suggestion, I’ll pass that along to the SP folks!
Hey Ivan, in case you missed it — StudioPress was acquired by WP Engine.
New design is great thank you
God bless the fact that people are all moving to clean minimalism. I have been doing this my entire life and just waiting for people to catch on. Less is more people! So much easier and enjoyable to read.
Hi Sonia, I love the new look here. Easy to read and find things. The site seems to be very fast too 🙂
Blogs have come a long way lately with having less instead of more.
Good luck with the new design as I’m sure it will generate even more traffic for you!
Have a great day!
Thanks Lisa. 🙂
Love the new design. Seems the main focus is to get people to sign up to the free training. Before there were a lot more objectives. Or at least that’s how it looked.
Less is more seems to be the case everywhere nowadays.
DO you plan to keep the red on the signup page: https://my.copyblogger.com/free-membership/
Or change that in the future too?
We’ll be monkeying around with some different options. As to what the future holds for that, we’re still playing with ideas. 🙂
The new site is great, the 600 width content area is something I am approaching with my own blog and feel that it really helps users focus on the content.
