DC's new Talent page

No, not a page for new talent. A new PAGE for Talent. In fact we noticed there was this very page URL with no content a while ago, but now it’s a nice index page with names and links and stuff. The individual creator pages have covers, bios, and sometimes photos. Not all are completely filled out, but it’s a great start for the resource.
