Hey y’all! It’s been 20 posts in so far for Blog Hero 2 so I figured I should break up the flow and elaborate on some changes you may have noticed!

• Brand new layout! In between posts, I’ve been perusing the Theme garden and just other Tumbleblogs dedicated to themes so I could use one that wasn’t so default-y or noob-ish hahaha. “If it’s free, it’s for me” is something I live by and while the initial themes are free, I like some of the user-generated, creator-content  that you may not necessarily be aware of!
• Navigation bar! Since I’m pretty much going to make this blog my main Tumblr, might as well throw everything I have about me and what I do on here as well! Check out the navigation bar! You’ll find my old resume and a demo reel from two years ago. Check back on it in awhile; I’m looking to update both with more current shtuff! Also, you can get to my Twitter from the nav bar too! Neat!
• Reblogs! Look for some reblogs as well! I follow a handful of folks on here and I’d really like for y’all to check them out and follow them too! Plus, it’ll be another good way to break up the regular Blog Hero posts. I won’t reblog ALL the time, and if I feel like I can serve them up in chunks, I’ll try dedicating an entire newsletter (just like this one) to links
• A review column? Maybe! On my old Blog Hero account, I reviewed stuff like movies, music, and video games to help balance out professional style writing and my personal stuff. But it got to a point where I was writing nothing but reviews and eventually, I just sort of stopped writing in it for awhile. I wouldn’t want that to happen to this one since I really enjoy Tumblr, but who knows! Be on the lookout for a review!
• The SETLIST! Something from the old Blog Hero I definitely am bringing back is “The Setlist”. Every 20 posts, I’ll just compile them all into one sort of online ‘zine via links to the entries themselves. Makes it easier than just having you guys wade through the Archive, which will undoubtedly start getting dense the more and more I’m on here!

And that’s about it! I won’t be putting out these newsletters constantly or anything, but they’ll definitely pop up once in awhile! Thanks for checking out BH2! Smell y’all laters! :D
