As you can see, work continues on the site
refinements. I hope to have this more or less
done before too long. Then, I can post on other
topics. For now, I kind of want to document my
thought process during this site redesign.
Mainly, so if I decide to do it again, I can look
back, and think, "Man, that was a lot of work..
Am I really sure I want to do THAT again?"
On a more serious note, I really like how it is shaping up. I am still working on the movies section, but the photos section is right where I want it now. I changed how you view photos. I think it's more intuitive now. I liked the fly-out postcard thing I was using, but viewing pictures wasn't very intuitive for the less technical among us. Now, I think it makes more sense having a continual running slideshow that you hover over and control, if you like.
In addition to changing the photo slideshow and viewing, I tweaked the navigation a little, so I hope everyone can find what they are looking for. Along with these changes, I added some more photos to each of the albums, so there is new stuff to look at. There will be more photos in the near future, so keep an eye out.
