As you may have noticed, the site has changed (ta-da!). The reasons for this are simple:
I could have gone with several different designs that I had floating around, but instead I chose to go with the default WordPress theme, Twenty-eleven. It’s clean, semantic, and works like a charm. Which fit my desires for this new outpouring.
