New Blog Look & Great Writing Programs!

Look! I redid my blog! You like? I was really unhappy with my last design. The color scheme was way too dark. But I loved that the right side panel had tabs. That meant I could have everything I wanted in my sidebar without overwhelming the blog. On a whim I searched for a new template and came across this one. It's clean and sleek, bright, AND I got to keep my sidebar tabs. It took me all day, but I went through and updated every single page on my blog. So you'll find that all of the information is now up-to-date.

Now, that's enough about how awesome this blog looks (Admit it, it does look awesome). Onto today's video! In this video I give a short overview of several different writing programs. The things I like and the things that I didn't. Feel free to ask me any questions and I'll try to answer.
