This picture has absolutely nothing to do with what I wanted to post about, but I just absolutely LOVE it. Anyway, we have just completed a huge off-season objective of completely re-vamping our website from scratch. It was a very big project that took a ton of time and effort, but I think it came out exactly how I wanted it. Some of the toughest things were the hosting and the calendar. First the hosting: So the old site was made with Microsoft Frontpage that's basically antiquated and not even supported by MS anymore. I've got this beautiful Mac and everyone says iWeb is great.
So, I make it in iWeb and go to publish it and find that the MobileMe host is extremely limited and doesn't support MySql, nameservers or a host of other tech type stuff. So, now I had to figure out a way to put it on my original host and publish from there. Remember, I'm a photographer - not an IT guy. Next the calendar. I won't boar you with the specifics but basically I had to figure out what a MySql is, understand php files and scripts and all kinds of crap. So after many days of frustration and staying up very very late - it's done! We won't even talk about Blogs. Oh, man. I'm sticking with Blogger. It's just easier that way. . .
But, a huge off-season task complete. A big weight off my shoulders that I've been dyeing to do all year. We also got three sample albums completed to have on display at three more venues. Very productive winter so far!!!
