It is another Red Flag Warning day in Montana, but these weeks and weeks of continued smoke and haze have made it easier to have been camped in front of my computer for the month of August in a marathon effort to complete the website revision. So at sandranykerk.com, it is also a Red Letter Day because today, the new and revised website is live. I am thrilled to have this long-in-the-works task completed. It has been almost exactly one year since my website expert and I began exploring how best to remove the Flash from the galleries so that they could be viewed on a iOS device, as well as make it easier to upload new images. Given my parameters of keeping the design mostly the same and requirements for how the galleries should look and load, it turned out to be a not-so-straightforward project. But it is as finished as my OCD self will tolerate whatever “finished” may be, although I will always be tweaking. That sound you hear is a chorus of The Hallelujah Song, as well as a song of thanks to my web tech extraordinaire!

So have a look around and let me know what you think. The Home page now has a rotating slide show and there are three new galleries, including one just for the exciting new explorations into iPhoneography. And what fun that has been. Navigation is a bit different than before – click on a thumbnail to display a particular image, and that will stop the automatic slide show. You can then click on a different thumbnail or navigate directly through the larger images with the arrows.

Please stop back again. I’ll be keeping the New Work Gallery updated, changing out images in the other galleries on a regular basis, and I promise to try to be more diligent about blog posts. It’s nice to see you again.

And, please send rain.
