Trivia
- This revamp officially brought me back into hobby webdesign, since my idea to use the domain as a grad school portfolio didn't pan out.
- The picture used in the header is the sky over my now-husband's family home.
- The layout's basic color scheme is very similar to version 1. What can I say, I love light blue!
- I found the sidebar widgets to be annoying and distracting after a while, so they didn't stay long.
- A dear Internet friend taught me how to do the display: block trick for my navigation.
