I spent some time this week cleaning up my site, specifically the header. First, there’s no more picture at the top, which took up half of the header. It’s now replaced with the site title written on the side of the links. Second, and for the first time ever on my site, “Music” isn’t part of the header links—not because it’s not important anymore, but removing clutter has become more important.

My site now has only two main locations: About and Archives.

• About page is the home-base for anything other than the main blog.
• Archives is to search for something I’ve written in the past.
