I’m in the process of making some changes to the design of this blog, with the assistance of web designer and developer Michael Blaha, whose firm is called Organic Arts. Most conspicuously, Michael and I have designed a new Northern Letter logo, seen above. It includes a simple north star, appropriate given that Minnesota’s motto is “L’étoile du nord” - French for “star of the north.” 

Addressing the more technical aspects of blogging and online publishing has been rather humbling. I think of myself as a person who can do a lot with computers, but I’m much less knowledgable than many people - particularly many younger people. Thus I have a lot to learn about plug-ins, feeds, FTP software, and more. I’ve never learned that much about grahics - thus the focus here on words, not pictures. Still, I intend to include photos in posts from time to time. Advice and suggestions are welcome.
