Ccchanges!
Well as you can tell, this is a much different place then it was yesterday! I’m in the process of changing my blog completely, including the name. For now the URL will be the same, until I finish tweaking my new drop-down navigation bar. If you look at it now you’ll just see “section” because it’s not done yet.

Thanks!
