2000 Photos... What More Can I Say?
Shorten (.SHN) Information Added -
I will be adding a new section of the site devoted to information about Shorten (SHN) audio files - a file format used for high-quality recordings of live music, and how you can download these files from our FTP server. Meanwhile, I've been archiving a great deal of live music on our machine. See a current list of shows I have on the hard drives. (If none of this makes sense, and you'd like to learn more - start here.)

Netscape 7 Support Added
I updated the site for Netscape 7 users. The update consisted of adding a new Style Sheet (CSS) for this newer browser.
Christmas 2002 and NYE 2003 photos are coming soon!

Menu Updated and Enhanced
I updated the code for the menu and made it dynamic. It now pulls every album uploaded by family (or person) and displays the link in the menu.
If you would like your Photo Albums listed in the "Featured Albums" section, just send an email to [email protected] and I'll add you.
Have Fun!

I've re-written the entire site in XHTML 1.0 (Extensible HyperText Markup Language).

Other New Features:
Random rotating pictures of Kari and I on the Home page.
Three "Random Moment" photos appear each time you visit the Home page. You can entertain yourself for (practically) hours by refresing the page! (F5 in Internet Explorer and Opera; <ctrl>-r in Netscape)
Lots more goodies to come... So check back periodically.

We now have over 400 Photos online!
In just a little over one month, we've accumulated over 400 photos. Our thanks go out to all who have contributed to our site!
I am currenlty working on some additional photo functionality, including the ability to resize, rotate and crop your uploaded photos. I will also be adding the capabilities to do some basic image manipulation, including adjusting the brightness and contrast and changing the sharpness of the photo.
