The Turning Gate

The State of the Turning Gate

I've spent literally the entire day banging this new site design into shape. It's not quite finished yet, but nearly, and I'm feeling pretty good about it. I've tested the site in various browsers with satisfactory results. It's imperfect in Internet Explorer 6, but as good as it's going to get there. People should know better than to use IE6 by now, and all IE users will be treated to bonus site content whether they know better or not.

I've paid a lot of attention to the Lightroom area of the site, knowing that a great deal of my traffic these days is due to my work on web photo gallery templates and resources. The URLs in that area have all changed. If you've come here following a link from another site, you might have found that link broken. The content is all still here, and I trust the broken links will work themselves out eventually. In the long run, I think the setup is much better organized now, and I've posted a new introduction to the content that, I hope, will serve as an orientation to new users. Comments, questions and suggestions are all welcome on this.

I've finally written up a proper Colophon for the site, something I never got around to doing in the last rendition of the site.

I've also installed Shaun Inman's Mint for tracking site traffic. Seems to be a stellar application so far and I'm looking forward to putting it through its paces.

I'll need to go back over some of the pre-existing articles to reformat them for the new design. If you find something that seems particularly messy, please let me know.

What else, what else ... ? I don't know. If you've anything to say about The Turning Gate's newness, or anything else, then say it.

Long days and pleasant nights, do it please ya.
