Bent Alaska is taking advantage of the long Memorial Day weekend to work on a long-anticipated redesign. It’s a mess! — but it’ll get prettier, & much more easy to find stuff stuff, too.

In fact, it’s already easier to find stuff.

The most obvious change is Bent’s snazzy new Wordpress template (Arthemia Premium by ColorLabs & Company) — my first investment from $1000 raised at a January fundraiser by the Last Frontier Drag Kings. Thank you, Drag Kings, and all  your generous audience!  I’ve also reorganized the categories, and I’m cleaning up the sidebar. There’s a few twiddles still to make in the workup at the top of the page, but it’s already made it possible to keep important features and upcoming events where you can see them even as new articles get posted.

Stay tuned for further changes. And have a safe, fun Memorial Day weekend.
