Oh...I'm sorry. I think you've been reading the wrong blog. You're still a great commenter, though.

Jon,

Watch your language!! This is a public site and your mom is still watching 200 miles away! Please, no
"s" word.

no 's' word? how about no 'f' words? i must say, i too was a bit paranoid on your behalf when i saw your f words, because i thought 'dude, he's writing that in plain view when his parents read his blog?' i know you have an awesome relationship with the rents but wow, i mean i was like, 'dude, his parents must REALLY be cool.' and i know they still are, anyway.

sorry, i just noticed your mom addressed your barely-legal bro, and not you. also, please mentally delete the word 'too' from the previous post. i was simply paranoid (not 'paranoid, too' since your mom wasn't paranoid to begin with -- just a bad typo).

i do agree with the barely-legal bro on your original site -- it's really nice-looking.

Yeah, it's weird as this is hardly the first instance of profanity on the site.

Since you're a big fan of photo galleries and you're a mac user, I'd highly recommend iweb.

I created the photo gallery simply by dragging and dropping the photos onto the page. I reordered them by sliding them around.

You could have a CSS-pimped version of your site running in a couple hours.

oh man that WOULD be awesome. but how much does iweb cost? would it be worth it for me to switch to it from 1997-era html?

iWeb is part of the iLife package, which includes iPhoto and Garageband and iMovie. iLife costs $80.

Keep in mind that your web design is severely constrained by Apple's templates. I can't change the menu font, for instance.

But if you spend a lot of time handcoding photo galleries, it'll probably pay for itself. My photo gallery took less than an hour from start to publish.
