Onward

Rossville, Georgia USA
There are some new things happening on Megashot; some very good and exciting things, I think. The customization phase for individual member profiles is nearly complete. In the past two weeks, code has been put in place to allow us to have slideshow banners if we want them. Very soon, our profile page should be much more customizable in that we can choose what page elements we want to display. If the Youtube player is not for you, a few mouse clicks will hide it from view and the same will hold true for other sections that were activated by default when you created your account. This change will be most noticeable to new members as they will see a simpler interface when they first view their profile; it appears that some prospective joiners have been scared away by the seeming complexity of the site. In future, they will be able to activate sections as they become more comfortable with the layout. Want a peek at a partially revamped profile page? Look here. Two things in particular I want you to notice: the slideshow banner and the fact that there is no direct link to your photostream. Your contacts will view and comment on your photos via the ones showing on your Profile page, your Galleries, or your Portfolio. We will also each have a "Guestbook" which visitors can sign without using an avatar. If you have a domain name, you can set it to where it will direct you or your visitors to your profile page such as "www.kanderson.com" and not "www.kanderson.megashot.net. It will seem to a first time visitor that you are one cool dude or dudette by having your own elaborate web site for your photos.

"It" is raining in East Tennessee; the kind of slow but steady drizzle that causes vegetable gardens to flourish and provide us with delicious but not very nutritious iceberg lettuce that we use to help complete our ham-on-rye sandwiches when we go tail-gating at some ball game that is really meaningless except it gives us another excuse to get together with friends, drink beer, act silly by painting our faces with our home-team colors, eat ham-on-rye sandwiches with iceberg lettuce from our gardens and to write very long nonsensical sentences in our blogs.

Have a great Satidy.

Yes, this is very nice web site, my friend. I like the changes you intruduced. It was a bit sad (too much of black), now its lay-out looks much better.

Thanks, Jola.

As far as the black goes, it can be changed to any of at least 64 million colors. You can have it whits a Flickr if you want it, or you can change it every five minutes to suit your fancy. Megashot was built to be customizable by the user.

The photo is the first one I took last Sunday morning as we began roaming N. Georgia. Did you notice the dog? :-)
