You are now looking at Version Two of More Than Good Hooks [dot] com! As you can see from the layout, this is quite an overhaul from our previous one which was very simple and a tad all over the place. We’re excited for the change and hope you are, too.

Firstly, we would like to give a massive shoutout to Julia Zave for allowing us to use the awesome photo she took which now serves as our sidebar header image. The original image had the exact vibe we were after for the site, so we thank you for that!

Secondly, the announcement will be postponed until further notice due to circumstances beyond our control but we will inform you of it eventually.

The new MTGH also sees some new features being added to the site, find out more and read all about it in this blog entry.

There have been several updates since you last heard from us and here’s what’s new on MTGH (bear in mind we still have more to add in time to come):
