I used a Nikon CoolPix 2500 and iPhoto for all the images. For the most part no digital editing was done except to crop and size the images. I have started using Graphics Converter to resize some files in an attempt to speed up load time. I used BBEdit to write the markup. The pages will be more easily read on large monitors sorry all you PDA surfers out there. Note this web site uses XHTML and CSS exclusively so it should be browsed with a browser that supports web standards. I recommend Opera to Windows users. After some complaints about the background and font colors by fellow listers I implemented ALA's style switcher, it does not work in Opera 6.0 :-( (but it should work with 7.0 :-) ) so I am recommending Mozilla for Windows users if they want to switch the Cascading Styles Sheet on the fly. I'm using the new version of Opera for Mac OS X but I miss the Google Toolbar and it's ability to show PageRank.
Although I've heavily modified it, and used it for over a year so it seems like mine, the actual layout of this site was based on code made by Blue Robot. I hope to tweak it further if I have time. I also would credit Eric Meyer as my CSS guru, check out his book. Apparently if you click on Previous news and updates... you can still see where he thanks me (Andrew McKay) for finding some tiny mistakes in his otherwise excellent book.
