New design settings pages

We've removed the Design settings page in favor of separate settings for Archives and Emails.

A few months back we split apart the design settings page into two pages: one for Archives and one for Emails. This gave us the space we needed to add more Archives features and new themes.

But since then, we've been asking ourselves "What does the design page actually do?"

The answer is, "Not much" so we've removed it.

We've added these two pages to the left-hand navigation for easier access. (But you can star them too!)

This is a live demo. You can view this page on our live demo site, too.

If you run into any issues, just let us know—we're here to help!

Buttondown is the last email platform you’ll switch to.
