Nice Kathryn.

impressive portfolio site and illustration/design work! Must feel great to design/build the site yourself with modern tech and design. How do you like using bower?

Actually I didn't like using Bower. I wrote all the html and css for my site, but I used the jquery plugin Snappish by Phillip Bosch. The plug-in used the files and folders that a Bower install would use, and I couldn't get it to work any other way. I tried to use Bower. I looked at Bower's site to download it and install it and use it, but the documentation just sucked. And I'm comfortable with the terminal and command line interfaces in general. So i manually installed. I even tried renaming folders, but it just got unmanageable. so, not a fan of Bower

Sorry for the rant, just wanted to be honest.

No rant at all, honesty is good! I have not used twitters bower but that's too bad about the documentation. No excuse for shallow docs, imho learning to accomplish tasks using Command Line Interface is a great skill to develop - glad treehouse added it to the fed track.

so if you're thinking about using bower...I don't recommend it. especially for small one-page sites. manual installation is much much faster than trying to figure out bower
