## Highlights
|
|
|
|
1. **Added GoatCounter analytics. [Learn more or opt-out here](/website-info/#analytics).**
|
|
2. **Now using the IBM Plex Sans Variable font for headings.** Only two font files are needed instead of 8, which should result in faster load times.
|
|
3. **Renamed "About me" to [About](/about) & rewrote some parts.**
|
|
4. **Renamed "My Tech" to [What I use](/what-i-use) & added software section.**
