@nm – Thanks, I have done some of that since.
@bill – Yeah, some people like the background, some don’t…gonna keep trying it for awhile, get more feedback. I’m still working on the frontpage design to keep the bio section, but the blank space has been an issue with this particular custom theme. And thanks re: the mobile suggestion…but historically, only 2% of my traffic is mobile-based, so I am going to keep with the flash temporarily until that increases a bit more.
@green – Client proofing is for photographs for clients that they are still evaluating, looking through, etc. and not yet released to the overall public website. For example, a wedding album, where the bride/groom get to ‘proof’ the photographs, pick their favs, etc. to give me an idea of what photographs they might like to see represented on the website.
