Progress…

Filed under: Uncategorized — Neil N. @ 11:53 am  


Haven’t posted here in a while.  But I’ve been very busy under the hood. Many modifications, tweaks, and improvements to the underlying software that runs this site.  It’s a slow process, because decisions need to be made re: functionality/features that will not be easy to change later.  My goal has always been to have a “dual-purpose” site.  By that, I mean the standard “by species” image gallery that, well, everyone has.  But I want a way to allow you to sit back in your chair, relax & be entertained with content that is not necessarily “taxonomic”.  Content along the lines of the introduction.  I needed a way to easily showcase, for example “The Creatures of the Pine Barrens”, etc., etc., and integrate that content in a sensible way into the flow of the site.  It has been a 3 steps forward/2 back exercise, but I’m a lot closer.  The challenge is to provide rich functionality with an intuitive interface.  I’m hoping it will be all that I strive for it to be.  In the end, you will decide.  I haven’t posted many new images, I’m holding off until I can freeze the feature set/layout.  In the meantime, feel free to look around.  I’ll try to post here as I enable other parts of the site that are currently “under construction”.  As before, SHIFT-Refresh is not a bad idea if you want to be sure you’re seeing updated pages & links.  Thanks for being patient.
