No more pop-ups

I just added code to my website so that pop-ups are no more. To view larger images of my jewelry, you will get a nice overlay image instead. View an example at the Bamboo Knitted Choker page - or any page in the Boutique.

New web design venture

So what's been happening in the last nearly-one-year? A lot, but it doesn't include having unpacked all my glass beadmaking stuff, which stubbornly remains the last box still packed. On the plus side, I haven't had to make any more break-up beads, having handled the last few breakups without molten glass involved.

Finances continue to be tight, which has encouraged me to strike out for new ventures. In addition to my teaching, I spent time editing photos this summer at Sky Studios. The photo presentation on the front page was my way of dressing up the interim website there. Working there was fun, but talk about wedding photo overload! My Photoshop skills increased accordingly, I made new connections (including a photographer who did a photo shoot with me - more on that later), and referrals brought me back into the world of website design.

Which brings me to the main topic of the post: I am now offering freelance web design services. My portfolio is growing; in addition to the sites shown in my website portfolio, I am working on a couple of others currently under construction. If you like what you see and would like to talk to me about helping you and/or your business out, please drop me a line!
