MindBites Turns the Big 0-1

October marks our first anniversary…. That's right, MindBites is one year old! We have seen lots of exciting growth and changes over the past year; we've moved from the carport to a proper office, added employees, and even launched an iPhone site! Most importantly, we've learned a ton from our authors & users. Thank you all for helping to make MindBites great!

Author Spotlight: Crystal Camillone

Crystal Camillone is one of our very first authors, and one of our most popular. She is a professional hair stylist here in Austin, at Bamboo Salon.

Crystal teaches How to Straighten Hair, a do-it-yourself guide, and A Basic Men's Clipper Cut, which includes facial hair and sideburns.

Video Tip of the Month

When making title screens, keep them informative and do not use creative effects unless it adds to the viewer's experience. Don't forget to leave them on screen enough for viewers to be able to read them!
