Default New site.... finally....

I've been meaning to revamp my site for a long time. Finally got around to it. Still need to add more photos, but I'm working on that.

If anyone gets a chance to check it out, can you tell me what you think? Specifically can you tell me if the gallery is working okay for you? I tried it on both my Mac and PC under Firefox, IE, and Safari, and I think it's okay, but I wanted to get others to check it out too just to make sure.

Looks great....all options worked perfectly. I like your brown and black colors on your site...it really allows the colors in your work to stand out.

Beautiful glass work too!

LOVE the colors.
I'm a little "eh" about the pictures popping up in a separate window.
It's a pain in the butt to have to close them down after viewing them
(but that's my personal preference. I'm picky and annoying).

I saw that you had a class at the Mandrel this year?
How did I miss that??? What did you teach???

Love the design and layout, don't like the popup windows. And it's more disconcerting because the page is so empty vertically, so there's room to have the image in the same page.

I was kind of torn on the popup thing as well. The main reason I decided on it was that I hope to have many, many pictures listed on that page. If they all load at full size when the page loads, it takes a while for people with slow connections. I wanted it to load quickly. I had considered doing a slideshow type thing, but they are often times a lot more trouble than they're worth. So, I ended up going with the popup thing. That way people can open and view what they want, and skip the things they don't want to see.

As for class dates, it's supposed to say 2009. Just fixed that...

Default Pop-up Solution

I like the colors & the layout, its very simple & organic. The popups do make it easier when you have a lot of pictures, but I'd suggest making it pop up with the image AND "Next" & "Previous" links on the bottom, so that if people want they can just click right through the entire gallery in one pop up instead of opening & closing each individual window.

Yeah, but now I have to figure out how to do that....

I can whip up a quick HTML template for you, & you'll just have to copy/paste the file names in. Just PM me if you're interested
