I just finishing completely redesigning the website.  Even though I liked the previous layout, it was just getting too cluttered.  I decided to make it more simple and cleaner.  If you saw the previous version you'll see some big changes, if you hadn't, this won't matter.  I'm trying to "modernize" my mailing list too.  I have started to move everything over to MailChimp so it can be more easily managed.  The only disadvantage is it removes some of the personal side of subscribing.  I like to respond to everyone that leaves comments or joins the mailing list.  I haven't figured out how to do this with MailChimp.  So I think I'm going to stick with what I have in place now and send out the newsletter using MailChimp.  Those of you on the mailing list will see a different form of the newsletter (if I can get it to work right) than in the past.  I made a new welcome screen and author bio too.  Hope you like it and makes you laugh.
