| Ch-Ch-Changes |
Regular visitors will have immediately noticed the new look and layout of the site. What can I say...I'm a tinkerer. In my defense, let me just say that this site has always been a "work in progress" - a sort of digital sketchbook, if you will. The changes it has undergone over the years have reflected my expanding understanding of HTML and web design as well as an ongoing process of design refinement and experimentation aimed at keeping the site distinctive and interesting. I hope you enjoy the new features! -SCD |
