Exciting new stuff coming soon!
February 26th, 2008 Posted in Site News
I’m busy getting ready for my first photo exhibit next week! I’ve been working on cleaning up my SmugMug, reorganizing photos, and working on this site to make sure everything is in order for the big debut!
Some of the things you’ll be seeing on this blog soon…
- A new look! - First and foremost, as I’ve mentioned before, this theme does not work properly in Internet Explorer. I’ve contacted the theme’s author (I did pay for this theme, btw), but he has not responded. At first, he believed that the layout problems were due to my custom code. Well, they’re not. I’ve found the same problem in the default theme on his site. Unfortunately, after multiple emails, he isn’t responding. Maybe he’s working on a new release, maybe not. I like his work. I really do. But I can’t have a site that doesn’t work in 90% of the browsers on the planet and, without some acknowledgment that he’s looking into the problem, I can only assume he isn’t. So, it’s time to change. Look for that in the next day or two.
- The official launch of my online portfolio - As I mentioned earlier, I’ll be cleaning up my SmugMug account over the next day or so as well so I will be ready to take online orders for prints.
- Limited edition availability - In addition to my online portfolio, I’ll be offering limited edition prints of some of my work, including the photos that will be shown at DCist Exposed next week. I’m still working out how I will be selling them, but it will likely be separate from my online portfolio. I’m doing this because I want to retain control over the printing, framing, and so on. More on that soon!
- Connect with me! - On my Contact page, I’ll be adding all kinds of ways to connect with me as I build my “web brand”.
What you won’t see a lot of this week…
- Long feature posts - With all the site work that needs to be completed by the end of next week, I’m afraid my time to write more detailed feature content will be delayed a bit. I may be able to squeeze one out this week, but overall, my posting frequency might be a little slower than normal. However, I have a lot of really cool ideas and I can’t wait to post them… Be sure to subscribe to my feed to be kept up to date while everything launches.
I can’t wait to launch all the new features and I’m excited to share it all with you… Stay tuned!!

Too bad about the theme, I thought it was quite nice (in ffox of course)

Yeah, I like this theme, too.. The good news is, the theme author just sent me an update… I’ll be installing it over the next day or so. I’m also going to be toying around with another theme I found that I really liked. So the site may look a little different by this weekend and everyone can give me their feedback on what they like better.
Thanks!

Shawn I tried to send you an email through the contact form but I don’t know if you got it.
The new theme rocks my friend but if you try the contact form you will notice you can’t see what you type.
Cheers

@Ulla: Glad you like it!! You visited right in the middle of me switching it.
@Antoine: I did get it, which you probably already know since I replied. Thanks for pointing out that problem, too. I probably wouldn’t have checked that right away. But it’s fixed now.
Thanks!
