Website update???
May 16, 2007Well, after careful consideration and many minutes of searching on the internet...I've decided that it's time to update my personal website.
It's a portfolio website that I built about 2 years ago with my own design and a long distance phone call to my friend Brian Clark (who walked me through the hard part). Now, I don't know much about HTML code or any of that stuff, so I've always been just amazed at how well the whole thing came out.
That being said....it was time consuming to do. And I haven't updated it with any new pictures in way more than a year. I have a good excuse though, a girlfriend for a long period of time doesn't have the patience to sit and watch me fiddle around on the internet.
Well, I've always loved the overall look of my website, but it wasn't what I had in mind in the beginning. Finally, I found a picture gallery script that more matches what I had in my head initially. They are a dime a dozen honestly, but I had to find a match between what my limited talents would comprehend and something that doesn't look like total crap.
I have a ton of new pictures in mind to put up, many of them far better than the ones that are on there currently. Also, since I've started doing wedding stuff, I could add that section as well.
'Course, all of this website talk leads to the inevitable problem of people stealing my images off the internet. Now, I've only known this to happen a few times, and it was people I know or somebody who gave the proper credit that was due so it wasnt' a big deal.
But this stuff happens...a lot.
So, of course, I've been looking to "protect" my images a bit, not that I'm overly conceited about people stealing my stuff, but since it technically belongs to the newspaper, they could get in a lot of trouble.
I'd say that probably 80% of the work on my site is copyrighted to the Times Record News. That means...they'll sue your butt.
'Course, the other option is just put crappy work up so nobody wants to steal it.
