New website, new look, new contributor

Hello again, blogosphere! We have some announcements:

• The HMS Beagle Project has a shiny new website, designed by M/A with invaluable input from Beagle Project associates Anna Faherty and Lisa Taylor.
• This blog is in the process of being re-skinned to match the new branding. Pardon our mess while we get it all ship shape.
• Please welcome our newest Beagle Project blogger Lisa Taylor. *clap clap clap* A lifelong traveler and fan of nature in all its oddity, Lisa has been to a handful of the countries HMS Beagle visited, and plans to explore more. Having worked as a journalist, video producer and project director on five continents, she linked two of them in 2009 by sailing the North Atlantic on a Canadian Navy vessel, and counts good sea-legs as a treasured genetic trait. She now lives in London, sharing her time between the HMS Beagle Project and sustainable housing advocacy.
