Back in March of 2000 I started this website as a collection of my digital artwork with a few html pages on a Geocities site. Since then I’ve gone through several hosts, and about 10 different versions of the site itself.

The current version of the site was built using several popular free software packages that I integrated and customized into a smoothly flowing site.

A few of the major building blocks were:

ZenPhoto: An outstanding open-source online photo gallery that’s easily customizable.

Wordpress: A highly popular blogging and content management system which powers this blog that you’re reading, as well as some of the rss feeds that operate behind the scenes on the main site.

The Yahoo User Interface Library: An easily integrated set of components that provides this website with interface enhancement liked tabbed menus and search autocompletion.

Thickbox: an easily integrated method for displaying images and other content.

Together I’m hoping these components provide a good browsing experience. Another benefit is that it has made this site much easier for me to update, leaving me free to concentrate of making cool pictures and get them out quicker.
