All I have done is the front page... then all the other pages will follow the look of this one.

I like it. Much better than the old one. I'm considering redesigning my site, but I can't ever find the time to sit down and create the templates.

Kurt, you should browse the internet for free templates. For my company we purchased about 150 high quality templates for $10 on ebay. But there are lots of free ones as well. My new site is a redesign of one of the templates. Basicaly all I kept was the buttons and the general layout (position of the logo, header, etc.). Most the ones I purchased come with a PSD (photoshop) file for you to modify the site intriquetly...

The current one is a hacked up free template, but it has shortcomings. It also, while it looks pretty good, is not the color scheme I really want. I'm pretty darn good at PHP, so writing my own will be trivial - I just have to take the time to do it. Taking the time to do it is the biggest hurdle. :)

The new one looks much more professional. It may be a nice one for a portfolio someday.

Yeah, the new site looks a lot cleaner, better constructed. I can't wait to see it when it's all done!

The design of the new one is much better. It is more professional and will give a better vision on your photographs.
Your pipes are very beautiful, I like it !

Hey Ben,

I actually voted on this a day or two ago but never replied with a comment, why I don't know. Anyways, I really like the new design I agree with Random's comment about it being more professional.

Nicely done!
