with a sledgehammer

If you’re a frequent visitor to this website, two things:

1) THANK YOU

2) You’ve probably noticed that it’s changed around a bit.

I’m not a web designer nor a programmer. But, that hasn’t stopped me from tearing into the css and html that makes Look, Something Shiny! feel and function the way it does. Over the past two weeks I’ve learned a lot by breaking, remaking, and rebreaking just about every component of this website. And I won’t claim to be an expert, but what I will say is that I’m hungry for more!

That said, I’ll ask for your patience as I continue to work on this website. But check back later today, as I’ll have new photos and such to share!

If I could afford to take the time to write out all that has happened this week, I promise you, sweet internet reader people, that I would. But I can’t at this moment. Instead, I offer you three new albums of Photos (also a few fresh additions to the PDX at Random set) and lots of virtual hugs and kisses and whispers of promises to be back soon. Soon, darlings…

about the photos

Jed masterfully incorporated a Flickr plugin into my Photos page, as Flickr is the client I use for video and picture management. I LOVE how my sets are displayed on my Photos page, which is why I encourage all of you to not bypass it and go straight to Flickr. From now on I’ll be sure to mention in my blog posts if there’s new candy in the Photos department, at which point I advise all of you to drop everything! and click! the Photos link before your brains explode! with anticipation! Then mosey on over to Flickr (once you click the title of a set you’d like to view, look for the link at the bottom of the thumbs table) to get the full effect of the captions, titles, and picture quality. If you need help, please comment on this post. Thanks for playing, everyone!

Oh, and there’s new Photos today… ReadySetGO!
