Renovating My Web Site

There have been two major concerns with my redo of my website. The first is the size as I started in 2006 and have just kept adding to it, so that now it is gigantic. The question [that I avoided and procrastinated over] is should I just start a new site with just with current work. The other concern is that so many people use their phones and tablets that would this site work, designed as it were in the dark ages. Uploading a piece of software, Xcode, let me see the site on an IPhone simulator. Neat. So I decided to go with what I have, making the pages as narrow as I could as everyone seems to scroll down now and not sideways. Hopefully I am reaching the end and can upload the site. You will hear a mighty cheer!

Web Site

Finally, I have finished up dating my web site and while I love puzzles and figuring things out, this has been a struggle. The biggest hurdle has been the videos which I almost decided not to include, but couldn't give up on the challenge of making them play. They were a huge part of my work from '95 to 2002 when I needed my images to move; to be able to project images larger that I could create, and to work with sound and image. Some of the work was created before I had a computer and using analog equipment, which makes for a very degraded image, especially as I layered line upon line and mixed in real time. I miss that excitement. Now it feels that the web site has become a static on-line portfolio, and by this point large and unwieldy, while the bog is more of the day to day life, which updates easily, and FB more of short messages on the answering machine. So with the web site finished I'm off to do my taxes, the last of jobs on my 'DO NOW" list.
