Small changes I don’t even know if other people will notice, but I like documenting stuff like this.

So it goes.

Zines in the menu

I pulled the zines overview page out of the About menu and gave it its own spot in the navigation menu. Sub-navigation is My zines for now (the tag for posts about zines I make). I’m working on a zine resources page that will also fall under Zines in the top navigation.

Search in the sidebar

I change my mind often about where I like the search bar to go. In the top navigation, in the sidebar, in the footer…In more than one location? So okay now there’s a search bar in the sidebar in addition to the one in the footer. Probably I use the search bar the most, so I want easy access to it. 😂

No more email subscription for new posts

For a while, I was using Mail Poet to generate an automatic email every Tuesday with my new blog posts. I think it’s handy to have but no one has signed up for it in years, so I removed it. If you want email updates from me, you can sign up for my free monthly newsletter.

No more social sharing icons

I don’t even know how much these were being used. I don’t even use them on other people’s sites. Sometimes sharing widgets have funky formatting and it’s easier to share a link manually anyway. I just copy and paste the link in to a social post.

My Follow page includes links to where I post online and a list of websites, creators, and YouTube channels I follow. If you like my work, you may like theirs, too.

I added a few links to the list.

Bre – Zinester and artist. Bre does a great job of sharing tips and resources for making zines. Check out her YouTube channel for in-depth videos about making zines and working as a full-time artist.

Hot Ones (part of First We Feast) – Celebrity interviews while eating hot wings. Sean Evans, the Hot Ones host, asks such insightful questions that guests often compliment his research and curiosity. Also, it’s entertaining to watch celebrities struggle with spicy wings because I could never. I can’t handle any spicy food. 😂

Park Notes – Philosopher and theologian. YouTube channel about how to think, study, and learn with notebooks.

Company Man – Videos about business and marketing strategies of various companies. Lots of interesting info on this channel. (And it’s helped me at bar trivia more than once! An unexpected bonus.)

Maurice Moves – Videos about everyday carry, habits, and growth. Clear, concise talks about how to be more intentional about everyday life.

Drewscape – Illustrator. Process videos with interesting ways to mix hand-drawn and digital methods.

Lucas Keener – Illustrator. Hand-drawn comics and art.

Karla Sabrina – Illustrator. Stickers and key chains with fun, spooky themes.

James Chapman – Artist. Illustrations with Posca pens. Lots of movie scenes. So many pretty color palettes.
