Spent the complete day working on Trails of
the Spirit website. To get good results with the
search engines requires meticulous attention to
detail. It's not as fun as design or producing
great images but it's vital to getting visitors.
The site is up to 50 pages and rising so trolling
through the code is no small task. A great
spin-off benefit is finding lots of little (and
big), things that need changing, grammer,
spelling, headlines, more info etc etc.
Feels good at the end of the day, but this
iteration of the site won't go live for another 5
or 6 days. Building a good website is like
developing software. It's about level after level
of refinement and adding new features and
information, I enjoy it it's like eating peanuts
when I start I can't stop! More web stuff
tomorrow.

Spent quite a bit of time setting up a new
web site called
http://www.postcardsfromtheamazon.com
where visitors can select an ePostCard and
send it with their message to anyone they
like - free.
I've a lot of photography I shot during my last
trip to Peru last year (Sept/Oct), and decided to
put some of it online in some kind of useful and
interesting way, hence eCards. I plan on adding
some of my own original art work over the next
few days and I've invited some artists friends
from the Amazon region of Peru to also add some
of their original paintings to this site -, so it
should get even more interesting.
It's a nice way to brighten up an email to a
friend - check it out.

Well not exactly a new web site but a
complete redesign of the first Gallery site I put
up around three years ago. This site is my main
online Art Gallery
http://www.crimsonsalamander.com
Next thing I need to do is to get up some
new work onto the Gallery, which is waiting in
the wings. Need to photograph three new large
(48" x 48"), paintings along with some smaller
pieces for this new site, but not to get ahead of
myself. Meanwhile I managed to get in a small
experimental drawing to keep in touch. Hard to
stay in today working on my MacBook in such a
bright, sunny, fresh, spring day.
