Any opinions on the change? I know it looks drastic, but it has all the same info as before, maybe in a more user friendly format? Questions, comments, and suggestions are appreciated.

A freelancer, freelance worker, or freelance writers is somebody who is self-employed and isn't committed to an employer for too long. The term was first used by Sir Walter Scott (1771–1832) in Ivanhoe to describe a "medieval mercenary warrior" or "free-lance". It changed to a figurative noun around the 1860s and was recognized as a verb in 1903 by authorities in etymology such as the Oxford English Dictionary. Only in modern times has the term morphed from a noun (a freelance) into an adjective (a freelance journalist), a verb (a journalist who freelances) and an adverb (she worked freelance), and then the noun "freelancer."
