After some layout tweaking and assembly (and wrangling Lightbox in IE7), the site is ready to go live. The galleries are set up with thumbnails, which open the images in Lightbox windows (a JavaScript code) rather than new frames or windows or little popups or whatever. I rather like the effect, and there's less to fiddle with on the task tray this way. For subsequent updates, new artwork added to the galleries will have a colored border around the thumbnails to identify them.
To boot, I've got a good commissions guide going this time around, as well as some shiny new linking buttons under the Links section. The About section contains contact information as well as a brief FAQ, and there's even a link to my online portfolio (a sampling of some of my better works and projects, though I'll need to go through that again and update it) via the Gallery page.
In all, I think this redesign is working nicely, and can't wait to finish ironing out the bugs so it can spread its wings (so to speak). Speaking of which, if any visitors notice bugs or glitches with parts of the site, please don't hesitate to send me an e-mail (contact information is under About) telling me where the glitch occurred and what browser you're using. I'll try to get on it right away.
