Almost any vegetable tastes amazing sautéed in butter with shallots and garlic. You can also add plain breadcrumbs once done. I say this having just made brussel sprouts that way for dinner. Very simple and very delicious. And I used to hate brussel sprouts.

This looks great. I've already signed up as I've been looking for a replacement for Gumroad for awhile now. Their UI just isn't suited to physical subscriptions. This looks much better.

Found an error: My login date under sessions is "Sat, Dec 30, 1899 @"

Feature request: product variants ie. shirt sizes, phone types, colors, etc.

Your templates are nice and have good use of color. But why would you have the stock photo promo pics as your product images instead of the mockups? I can't decide if it comes off as gimmicky, as in you're trying to be trendy with no justification beyond that, or deceitful, as in you're hiding the product/trying to make it look better than it is. Neither could be the case but that's how I interpret it. Either way, that's not good. You're clearly a good designer; own it!

Also, your Twitter link in the footer is broken.

I loved this up until the end when I went to hit the back button. Clearly the last number should be 29 (or whatever it actually is but I think it's somewhere around that): the number of times you'll have to hit back to get to the last page you were on. That's always a pain. Good thing they made up for it beforehand by making such a great report.

That's much better. You're welcome.

Good for you for accomplishing and creating so much. Congrats on that. But good god, the background of your site is an eyesore. It literally hurt my eyes as I read through your list. You're going to deter a lot of people with such a bright background. Beyond that you're detracting so much attention away from your content. Feel free to completely ignore this, but I would change the background to something subtler or at least monotone if I were you. It will bring the focus back to where it belongs, your content, and it will give a far better first impression to new visitors.

Mentorship does not mean being reshaped in the form of your mentor, as if you are supposed to become a carbon copy of them. It means learning from someone more experienced than you in a more controlled environment. And not just learning from situations you wouldn't normally find yourself in and thus benefitting greatly from specific context, but learning from a different perspective that you can incorporate into your own. You are being given an opportunity to grow and diversify your way of thinking and executing. Embrace it.

These are great. Very well done. Two issues/suggestions. The checked radio button in Flat: the outer circle should either be thinner or the button should just be a circle with a hole in the middle. The checkbox in Polaris: don't have the check extend outside the box as it doesn't look consistent with the rest of the style.

Those are my suggestions. Do with them what you may.
