Thanks cap. They come and go. Bound to get lucky once in awhile.
Chris, I bought the ten dollar domain name from Go-Daddy and they had an easy set up with Google Apps. It is in beta right now and rather clumsy, but still, free web design is up my alley. I haven't figured thumbnails out yet, well, I have with the help of an html book, but it is wonky pasting it into their templates.
Let me know if there is a glaring ugliness or awkward flow, (that goes for anybody. I'll take any web-site design advice I can get). I haven't really put much time into it and keep thinking I will one night.
Absolutely OK with my essay being there- if it wasn't there I'd wonder, you know.
I couldn't tell yours is a Google site- when I looked at the source there was something that made me think it was a .Mac site, but now I can't see or remember why I wondered that. I think the site works well enough for a pretty flat design- it serves the purpose- you don't need a flashy show room- too flashy raises my suspicions. I guess I didn't think it was a Google site because those I've recently looked at have a Google terms of service link at the bottom- maybe that only applies to some sites in Google Apps, like those under an education license, which are the kind I've been looking at.
They need a kind of slideshow app in there so that when you click on an image a slideshow pops up right on top of the current page- not exactly on top, but kind of embedded in the page- that's being used a lot now, and works well because it doesn't require the user to click back and forth from one window to another. There are lots of examples, but here's one; I think it's a fairly simple javascript thing that might be pretty easy to borrow or figure out by viewing the page source:
Chris, the Google apps has a similar Picassa slideshow window, but, like you say, it would take me time to move all my images over to a Picassa folder. Some day.

BTW Awesome new banner.
Nice drawing- nice marks.
Steven, what did you use to build stevenlarose.com- is that a .Mac site?

You are ok with your essay being there no?
MMmmmmm.

Click any image and use the Previous and Next links- see how the slideshow pops up transparently over the page?
Here's a variation on an embedded slideshow on the personal website of the same artist linked to above, Fergus Feehily:

I don't think it's terrifically hard to figure out how to set these things up- it just takes time, one of the hottest commodities we have.
