Thanks, all. I have ironed out a couple more kinks. I am not sure about the smaller screen size complaint / load time until I talk to the software developer.
I appreciate the compliments, Mojave. I once worked a job where I read photographer & artist statements every day probably and it sort of warned me away from getting too self-important about what I do. Sometimes, artist statements can be very entertaining but for all the wrong reasons. I do want to be taken seriously, but at the same time, I don't want to take myself too seriously. So, I like hearing that the statements and such are enjoyable.
I am with you Leon. I really liked the old site. But a lot of those images were carried forward from an even older site that I put together before I knew much about scanning and compression, etc. There were some pretty rough images there. Plus the scans were pretty small. Anyway, when the dust settles, I have some ideas to try to quirk up this template a bit. I like having the project emphasis and the versatility of including other formats besides square, etc.
Thanks for the input!
