mint’s got a new look!
Hooray, it’s up! A big thanks to my friend Alison Hinks for all the little illustrations you see (like the rollovers in the navigation!) and to my awesome programmer and friend Eli Van Zoeren for making my design functional. Most of the structure on the blog is still the same, but the navigation at the top cleans up the sidebars a bit and also makes it easier to find what you’re looking for. The search button on the left there is a great way to find past posts, but if you’re wondering where the categories went, check the “topics & features” tab up top.
There a few kinks to work out but I’m so excited to have a fresh face for Mint!
P.S. I’ll be catching up on some freelance projects tomorrow morning, so no morning post—but Margot will be here for Howdy Do It at 1:30.
