Often there are many ways to solve a problem in Mura. In this episode, Sean tries to solve a Portal display challenge by suggesting a few ways to extend Mura. Eventually, Matt chimes in with the a simple and obvious solution. Sean is deflated. Show over. We also cover a few questions brought up during the show.

This week we have guest presenter, designer Ronnie Duke from Mod Media. Ronnie will be walking through the process of taking a design from Adobe Illustrator to creating a new theme for use in Mura.
