As you may have noticed, we haven't had as many product posts in the past few months. Part of the reason is that design blogs aren't as popular nowadays. The other part is that we're busy with other projects and pursuits. We'll keep BLTD up and running as a resource, but we'll not be updating it as often. We'll also be checking email much, much less. Thanks for continuing to use BLTD as a resource. : )FEATURES
