If you’ve been paying attention you’ll notice that I haven’t had any blog posts in the last couple of weeks. Don’t worry—photos are coming. They’re piling up while I took care of some website business.

I’ve been needing to update the photos on my portfolio site & I figured it would be a good time for an entire redesign of the website since there were some changes I wanted to make anyway.

The major change is that with the new photo viewer the photos are much bigger. I was frustrated before that important details were getting lost in the smaller photos. Now they’re 50% larger. To match this, the overall website is is larger as well. Plus there’s new functionality with the photo viewer that allows the viewer to click on a photo & be taken to the blog post that contains that photo.

The other big change is the photo categories are a little different. The weddings remain the same, but now the other categories are based on whether the photos are of one person or several. I’m still not sold on this being the best solution, but it works for now.

There are other little changes to the site. Things like the white field now mimics the black background with the filigree design. There’s also a subtle shadow under the white field & photos.

Since I did the programming (I’m definitely no developer) in addition to the design, I could use some help with the quality assurance aspect. Please take a look & let me know if anything’s broken with the site on your end. Thanks!

Now to get all those photos edited & up on the web…
