Further work on my site design

Right now my computer is compiling special image processing software called ImageMagick, which allows my MovableType website engine to generate thumbnails of pictures that I would put in an online gallery. Galleries, it still seems, are not foolproof to set up in MT. The compiler is bitching out right now... fortunately this site offers some help.

Additionally I am planning to add an instant website style switcher, so that you can change colors and text at the touch of a button.

One particular website with a nice gallery setup is AdamPolselli.com. This site also features an instant switcher (at top of right-hand bar) much like I would use.

Another good gallery is "Rob T"'s photo gallery of his military service in the USAF over Iraq and Afghanistan. I think the larger site containing Rob's pics works very differently than mine ever would, but it's still a good setup (and an incredible array of pictures).

The damn compiler is still complaining about something obscure. Arggh! (I may have to install FINK)
