what I've spent far too much time doing this weekend

I've sort of re-vamped the photo blog. (yeah, about eleven hours' worth of 'sort of'.) This involved installing a program thingie on my host server (don't you love my technical terminology?), and then I had to change some permissions on my files and then I had to tear my hair because I had made a vile error which pretty much made my site completely inaccessible (my dad, who was there at the time, said, "Well, why don't you just make another one?" Ah, Dad. Life without Internet is so simple.). And then I had to customize it, of course, and hoo boy did THAT take a while. Don't you love that crick between your shoulder blades from too much typing? me too.

Anyway. Here's the link to the new photo blog. The old one is still there, but it won't be updated anymore, unless I decide I hate the new way (or the, what, ten people who looked at my photo blog with any regularity decide that they hate the new way) and go back to it. Explore a little (there's not much to explore, really) and tell me what you think. Please?

Thanks. Meanwhile I'm off to see how many miles I have to walk (and, incidentally, how many photos I have to take) before my back forgets all the hunching-over-the-keyboard it's done in the past two days.

The only issue I have is that Bloglines can't seem to find your RSS feed (or maybe it's atom, I am not sure how Bloglines works). I like how you can change the background color -- it changes the way the picture looks.

Mary, you have to copy and paste the rss or atom feed into the "add" box at bloglines. I don't know why. Just copy the link location and plug it into the box and it'll show up. (I don't like the bloglines feed, though, because it uses the thumbnail, and waah! the pictures look so unimpressive that small!)

The photos are great! I love the one with the bee. You do good work.

Hey there, sorry I missed you. It is nine pm and we had a chat date...I'm sick AGAIN. Can you believe this? I went for a walk though and wished I had a camera because the sunset was beautiful and there are now sunflowers in the fields and it is a full moon tonight, no? So, Jason decided to not go out but he is practicing his stand up comedy routine and I came on to see if you were here, but you're not. I'll give it a few more minutes, otherwise I'm taking some pseudophed and hitting the bed with a movie. I'm going to check out your new photoblog now. This should have been an email, yes? Cold medicine is rotting my brain.

I looked at your new photo page. Although it will take some getting used to, I think it has a much more professional appeal to it.

I like it! I agree with Mary about the option to change the background color (though I think my favorite is still black, like you had on your earlier page), and I like the way that the photos are automatically large.

You must've been saving up some of these photos for the big reveal! ;o) That, or maybe seeing them larger makes them look especially impressive. I especially like the one with the bee.

See, I did that, and it couldn't find the feed. NOW it works and I feel like a dweeb. The thumbnails are ok because then you see them larger and it's WOW. I like the large size of the photos, like Michael said. My favorite of this batch, I think, is the chapel.
