The Updates Are Live!

We’ve been quietly working behind the scenes... and we’re excited to roll out another fresh set of improvements across Writing.Com.

Here’s what’s new tonight:
• Brand new item type icons around the site: cleaner, more modern, and easier to recognize at a glance. And you'll notice they are clearer to visualize in our side menu now, too! So. Much. Cleaner. 🙌

• A completely redesigned
+ Create Something page which is more user-friendly, more intuitive, and much easier (for both new and longtime members) to figure out what you want to create and what you need.

• Updates to the side navigation: improved spacing, clearer category visibility, and bolded section titles to highlight some of the most important areas of the site.

• The item creation pages have been simplified and given a cleaner user interface, as well. We haven't finished that yet, there is more to come on that!

• In particular on the item creation page --> The
Item Covers section received a complete make-over. Go look at it! SM made it so nice and fancy!

• A refreshed Paid Membership page (accessed from anywhere within
Create Something) which is now more welcoming and easier to understand if you come across an item you’d like to create but don’t yet have access to.

• Plus a handful of bug fixes, including improvements to the sidebar pop menus, updates to the WdC editor, and SM just fixed the Dropcap bug!

Our goal is always the same: to keep improving, modernizing, and moving Writing.Com forward while staying true to the heart of what we’ve always been. Writing.Com has never just been about tools or features. Yes, they are amazingly cool, of course, but it’s always about you... our writers, our readers, and our members who make this community what it is. ❤️ We are always working to make this the best place we can for
YOU.

Thank you for being such a wonderful part of this journey and for making it so fun to evolve and bring Writing.Com into 2026.

We’re excited about what’s ahead.
And we’re
really glad you’re here.

We’ve just now rolled out a series of updates across the site, all designed to make your experience cleaner, simpler, and more focused on what matters most: your writing.

Here’s what’s new:

🖋️
New Editor (Now the Default)
Our brand-new writing editor is now the default for all members. Prefer the classic version? You can switch back anytime within the editor.

📰
Newsfeed Revamp
Cleaner layout. More welcoming. Your posts stand out more clearly.
Plus new
Trending and Most Reacted sections to highlight what’s gaining attention in the community.

🎨
Skins, Now Visual
You can
finally see the skins before choosing them! Available in My Account → Skins & Themes or right from the header next to the simplified Writing.Com logo. This is a big upgrade for these!

🏠
A Simpler Front Page
We've redesigned our Writing.Com homepage to be more user-friendly, welcoming, and less clutter. Feel free to share this with your network and invite your friends to join!

🔴
Refined Logo & Navigation
We simplified the top and left side navigation so your writing stands out even more.

We’re evolving... thoughtfully, intentionally, and with you in mind. We promise!

We are excited for these changes and hope you are, too!
