Facelift!

You may have noticed that things look a little different around here… after months and months of alternating between hard work and procrastination, I finally have the new version fo the site up! Huzzah!

Why the new site? For one, I can never leave my websites alone for very long before I have to start picking at them and editing and deciding I need a whole new layout. But I also realized that Wordpress simplifies so many things about running a website. Especially one like this. I’m always learning new things and wanting to share that information, so a blog format makes a lot more sense versus the static format I was using before.

All of the tutorials, guides, and articles have been moved (and some given an update!) over from the old version of the site. And the old site is still accessible here, if you need it.

There are bound to be some bugs and broken links on the new site for the first few weeks, so if you notice any, please post a comment or email me at what.the.craft (at) gmail (dot) com.
