I think .....
check it out - if you enter your email address in the little box in the right sidebar under Tim's profile, you should get an email everytime we update the blog by writing a new post or putting up new photos in the posts. I've set it so you will only get a reminder with the first 50 characters of the post. At first, there may be lots of blog posts because I'm still trying to fine tune this thing.
Let us know what you think, please -- that would be exceedingly helpful

Website Almost Ready
Well, Tim's website is kindof up and running. There are still glitches and of course, refinements to make ... Gabe thinks I can do the refinements myself after he leaves today. We'll see about that.
Glitches .... those might be way beyond my capabilities. I still don't have this blog looking and functioning the way I want it to, but that will happen eventually. In the meantime, if you are reading this and have a spare few minutes, I would truly appreciate it if you would head over there and try it out (click on the word "there".)
If you notice anything at his website that either doesn't work ... or could be improved, please please let me know. Remember, we're going to be adding lots more portfolio photos.
You can email me at timothyswoodworking(at)gmail.com. I don't know how the site will work on all browsers. We can test Mozilla, Safari and Explorer. If you're using Firefox, Netscape or something else, it would be super helpful to get feedback from you on how the site looks and feels.

Testing Slide Show thingie
Deleted the slide show because it's not what I want yet.
We're just getting this blog fine tuned, so this slide show is probably not going to stay. We're trying to figure out an easy way to make a simple, elegant slide show to augment a single photo in the blog ... but this one has way too much clutter and even has google ads (!!#$*!) hidden in the background! Plus the slide show button (above) is way too small. I can hardly even see it w/o my reading glasses!
I want to have, say one photo of the rocking chair, and then a simple button below the photo that says something like "To see more, view the slideshow" and it would take the person to just the slide show, not to the flickr page. I don't really want the flickr page to show up at all on the blog, but I may change my mind about that.
If anybody is reading this and you know how to do what I describe above, I'd sure appreciate some advice.
