Monthly Review: January
January is coming to end, and with it, comes our first monthly review. At the end of every month (hopefully) we will be blogging about some of the projects that each of us worked on. Our reason for this is twofold. First, we want to give everyone a peek into the inner workings of The Axe. Second, we don’t want people thinking that all we do is sit around and eat burritos all day.
Being the month that we launched The Black Axe, January was kind of a big deal to us. We spent the first week or so getting together our website, blog, forms, and all of the other miscellaneous things we needed to launch together.
Anyway, I’ve rambled on long enough. Here’s some of what we did
