Site updates

Hopefully this will be the last admin post for a while so I can get back to focusing on origami updates!

Since Google is deprecating Feedburner for email subscriptions, I’m transitioning my email list to MailChimp. To this point, 100% of emails to my subscribers have been updates that I posted something new on my blog. Going forward, I may on rare occasions send things to that email list that aren’t just blog posts, but I don’t expect that to change too much.

If you subscribed to my email list in the past month: You are already subscribed via MailChimp, and shouldn’t notice any changes.

If you subscribed to my email list more than a month ago: I imported your email address from Feedburner to MailChimp. For this post, you should receive two emails, one from each list. These emails may show up an hour or two apart, since each list auto-sends all posts from the day on its own schedule. For future posts, you should only receive an email from MailChimp. If you do not receive an email from MailChimp, check your spam folder, or re-subscribe to the MailChimp list.

If you are not subscribed to my email list: If you would like to subscribe, you can subscribe here. Like most email lists, look for an initial email in your inbox asking you to confirm that you want to receive these emails.

If anything on my email list seems to be behaving incorrectly: Please let me know so I can deal with it!

I’ve been working on updating the look of my website, and I’m proud to show off the new look! This is the first major round of updates I’ve done since I first launched the site in late 2012. This was a good chance to replace some of my old theming based on my 2012 origami designs with a new logo inspired by the designs I’m better known for. I’m also very happy with the new look of the Artwork page, showing off many of the series I’ve worked on.

One thing I discovered while doing the updates is that a good number of the crease patterns I’ve drawn for shows or classes never made it online. Keep an eye out for those to be added to the Crease Patterns and Tutorials page in the coming weeks and months!

I’m still working on some more minor updates, but those shouldn’t change the overall look or navigation.

(And if anything looks weird or broken, please let me know – I’ve gone through several times to try to catch things, but I very well may have missed something)

My website has been a bit neglected for a while, so I’m starting the process of some updates. The first step is a new logo! More to come in the coming months.
