Welcome to my re-redesigned web site

and no, I didn't stutter.

This blog is the latest attempt I'm taking to redesign "Pixel Sandwich", which was the web site I created in June 2000 using Frontpage and a pitiful amount of HTML training. The site came out reasonably well, or at least it didn't have any technical problems. But it wasn't very elegant.

About a week ago, I purposely destroyed that cheesy and clunky web site, and opted for a free Doteasy template web site. It came out looking better, but after a few days I noticed that the web-creator was changing all the URLs for all the pages and images into random strings of letters and numbers. Not good, says I. Plus some basic functionality was missing in the template, such as a decent gallery page option. So I had to decide. Do I go back to the less elegant (but more technically sound) Frontpage web site, or come up with another option.

Hence, my web site is now a blog. Google (for all their evil omnipresence) offers free blog service, free (and abundant) storage space for files, a gallery slideshow option for the sidebar (as you can see to your right) via Picasa, and a domain name redirect which I will be taking advantage of soon. So I think this latest site will be OK for a while.

If you've new to Pixel Sandwich, please take a look at my Gallery and let me know what you think. If you've been to my previous site and came back to find this new site, please let me know what you think too. There are some new images at the end of the gallery slideshow, so you can fast forward to them.
