Layout, newsletter, news

Happy New Year, everyone! I made some slight cosmetic updates to the blog - before it was really flat and white and gray and blah. So, I hope everyone likes orange. I have been reading a lot of articles about 2013, and my biggest regret is that I didn't update the blog layout sooner.

One of my New Year's resolutions is also to make a newsletter. You can sign up here.
