Hi All,

Happy Wednesday!

Apologies for being unfamiliar with github, but I received an email that this issue was closed, however, Bindu's bio and photo are not up on the site. Does closed mean the issue is resolved?

Best, LaVonna

Good question! This happened since my naming convention had a built-in "fixes" call that references an issue to close once merged. This task is present in staging at the moment, so you can review it here: http://girl-develop-it-staging.herokuapp.com/about

I'm happy to avoid the "fixes" title in order to keep issues open until they're fully merged into production :)
