I have completely changed the style of my photography. With this came a new business name, website, and blog. Check it out and let me know if you see any mistakes!

    I like the look of it, however I wish there was the option to be able to go forward / backward through the image galleries, I have to wait for it to load at it's own pace and seem only able to view things in the order you put them on there. I like control personally ;)

    Blog looks great and Facebook links works and looks good too.

    First thing I noticed is the drop down menus will not operate correctly unless you mouse over them JUUUUUUST right. At normal "speed", they disappear far too easily while trying to get the links to open. Could be the system I'm on? (Wife's dinosaur from her office ) It was enough of a quirk to be a bit bothersome. Someone else let me know if this is happening, please. headscratch.gif

    Your site is propagating browser windows / tabs. From your homepage, I clicked "enter blog". Your blog opened in the same browser window. I then clicked "website". A new tab opened. I clicked "enter site". Stayed within same tab, good. Clicked "blog" Another new tab opened.

    I believe this should be corrected. Opening a new browser tab or window should be up to the viewer, not the web site.

    I also saw the same problem behavior with the dropdowns as noted by the previous poster.

    I've very slow. I'm not the one to coplain, are you using Portfoliositez? I just dropped them because they were loading sooooo very slow. I moved to Blu (another stupid idea), it's still slow, but it's a little faster than this guys. I closed it and went to your site again, it load a lot quicker, so, if your visitor comes for the first time, it might be painful :)
    I'm having the same dilemma.

    Love your work!

    I agree about the dropdowns. I also think that there might be too many photos in each gallery. I would try to limit it to something closer to 30 each.

    That said, I really like the site and you have a beautiful style.

    Yea, I am using portfoliositez. I absolutely love them. The slowness factor just comes with a flash site. It's probably not the fastest on the market, but it's realitively inexpensive.

    Thanks so much for the compliment!

    Thank you! I think I may switch half of the wedding images to another gallery. This could be the reason for the slowness. Thanks!
