Bianca Gordon, an entertainment and lifestyle photographer based out of New Brunswick, Canada, took time out from partying like a rockstar (we assume) and photographing the Canadian music scene to create her own Mintfolio and write up an awesome review of her experience in the Examiner.

Check out Bianca’s awesome Mintfolio (http://biancagordon.mintfolio.com), which we tweeted about when we first discovered it. Also, take a look at her blog symphoniclens.com.

We’ve thanked Bianca for her review by giving her a FREE Mintoflio Pro account for LIFE! We appreciate our Mintfolio users’ feedback, so if you have an established blog and want a free pro account, send us a tweet @mintfolio with a link to your review!

We’re happy to announce the addition of two new themes to Mintfolio! We’ve created a simple two column design that displays your portfolio information and menu options in a left column, and uses the same flash slideshow gallery as our previous themes. We’ve created both a light and dark theme for your choosing, but as always, you can customize any theme you choose with any colors or custom CSS that you want. Enjoy!

We’re excited to announce some major updates to Mintfolio.com! New features, new themes, lower pricing, and lots more! Check out the latest version of Mintfolio now by logging into your account or join now for free!

Updated Themes
Most importantly, we’ve revamped the portfolio themes with a smoother style and added a flash slideshow gallery that loads images faster, has fading transitions and full screen support, as well as play, pause, back and forward buttons for better navigation while displaying your images. We’ve also fixed some bugs that prevented some users from customizing their themes fully.

Flickr™ Integration
Mintfolio Pro users can now import photos from their Flickr™ account with a single click! This makes populating your Mintfolio with your latest work easier than ever!

Advertising
Free Mintfolio users will soon notice advertisements in their live portfolios. These are as unobtrusive as possible to keep free Mintfolios looking good, but if you prefer to have your portfolio ad-free, please upgrade to a Mintfolio Pro account.

Lower Price Pro Accounts - ONLY $6/month
We’ve been in “beta” mode while working out the bugs over the past few months, while pro beta users have enjoyed 6 months free of pro access. We’re now officially out of beta mode (woohoo!) and have lowered our monthly subscription price to only $6 per month for pro account features! Current pro subscribers subscriptions will be lowered automatically.

Explore Mintfolio
We’ve also updated the explore section of Mintfolio.com to show new and updated Mintfolios as things are happening! So keep your Mintfolio up-to-date and you’ll be showcased in our explore section frequently! We’ll be adding more features to this periodically to show off more amazing work by our users.

Bug Fixes
We’ve fixed a lot of small bugs that have been reported by users. Too many to mention, but everything is working smoother than ever thanks to everyone’s feedback. Please keep it up!

We’re super excited about all of these changes and many more to come! And as always, we welcome your feedback about these changes, or any other comments you may have about Mintfolio.com. We look forward to exploring your new work and your new custom Mintfolios!

We’re happy to say that we’ve been getting a lot of new Mintfolios created by some really cool artists out there. We wanted to make it easier for everyone else to see their work, and be able to explore other artists as they upload new work into their Mintfolios. Well, now you can! Click on the “Explore” link on the top of the page, and check out some amazing new art by your fellow Mintfolio users!
