Hey Randy, I’m working on developing my personal site, too. Call me plain but I like to keep things as simple as possible. Flash is cool, but I don’t know how to do it myself and I can’t afford to pay for someone else to do it or for a template, so I’ve just been making pages in photoshop lol. It’s super low-tech, but it can look snazzy if I try….

I would say that the most important thing is to make it easy for people to view your photos. Even as a “kid” in this digital / computer age, I dislike the extreme bells and whistles that make it difficult to view photos. Things that continually move, for example- not good in my book.

Anyway take care and good luck! BTW I’m writing a post in which I’d love some input from you in particular as a working pro…
