Two filters used on personal page

Went to bed last night with the rough draft on the page~ and without loading the links I needed to.

The rough draft has been cleaned up. I was in the web page for about 5 min deleting and uploading content so if you had trouble viewing ----> that was me messing around with the page but I'm all done now.

Hi Steve~

Checked it out.....and looking good!!!

TY on the page~ The background filter makes wings---> moth or butterfly not sure which. LOL When I made it I was going for butterfly wings---> not sure that's what I got though. And then the photo cut out ----> I'm in front of flowers I grew from seed---> photo taken by my daughter)... then two applications of my veil filter.

Is it going to be opinions? reviews? sell art and/or graphic services? StevieJ filter-bashing site??? LOL....

Well I've made many web sites in the past (all kinds of methods... slice and dice done straight from the paint program--- triple table code---- HTML, CSS, mostly hand coding if not 'slice and dice' ...). And ... I just bought some new space in January. [/B] It's just sitting and waiting for me to get to it. I think I'm going to learn .php or start messing with it. (((Stayed away from that in the past))).

Here are some of my ideas: A gallery type, maybe photos that be can be self uploaded by photographers with permissions for others to use. I don't know yet,,, still thinking. That would hinge on my being able to install the necessary files and would be a new area of web design for me personally. ((I am going to explore this today)). I may have to stop what I'm doing to learn it. ((ACk more to learn)).

I could do this in regular Gallery HTML, CSS fashion---> that's within my talents but then I'd have to sort thru and load everything myself. More time involved. So I'm still thinking.

Also I have a very old site I never took down---> I thought I got everything but... apparently it has a nice 52,000 plus hits on it so... ((and that was one of my smaller ones) I may have to take some time and revamp the old one before starting on the new one. It was the first of it's kind when I put it up,,, LOL,,, now there are a ton of those sites. So guess I inspire people~

I don't know which way I'm going to go with the new space yet~ For now I have the thank you page (hand coded because it is a thank you page).

I also like to make page templates so I may make those on the new space (especially with all the great filters from FF, could make some awesome web site templates). And that could be done Gallery style... so mostly leaning in this direction after the revamp on the old site which is going to be a nightmare because I may have to revamp all the graphics (((my old stuff----> like nails on a chalk board to see ones older graphics----> I'm much better now, LOL))). That site was put up 5 years ago, was going to update it in 2005,,, said I would on the site then... nothing.. and there it still sits.

Which is why I'm hesitating now on the new space----> web sites take lots of maintance and how much time do I want to invest? This depends on what kind of site I put up.

A conumdrum. It won't be anything for sale because I like helping others out. So if I ever did provide anything for sale it would be along with lots and lots of free goodies.

StevieJ filter-bashing site??? LOL....

Now 'that' would be fun! LOL (((((thinking... hahaha)))))

Also I have got to take some time to put some examples up for my filters----> most of them are 'graphics supply' types and need examples.

And I want to make a link on the thank you page that leads to a second with 'links' to my friends filters. I take it you don't mind if I put a link to your filters on a second page off this one?

And on the first page a link that says... 'Friends Filters'... new page opens... then...

Something like this: My Friends Fitlers 'Stevie J's Fitlers'

With links going to each friends filter list. (((with their permission of course)))

Jean

LOL

Yes that would be a hoot~

Ah, so you have a love-hate relationship with my filters, eh??? LOL....

LOL--------------> Now was thinking we could bash others filters---------> My Bad. ((was just joking))((I have high regard for the filter artists here))

I was thinking that your awesome self-portrait with my glass filter would make an excellent logo for you.....

Self portrait---> ??? Don't think I've done one yet. You mean the photo on the thank you page? Just a photo.

Quote
You have lots of good ideas.....that will, at the very least, promote and market your name Creating a popular "Hub" can have all kinds of benies.....advertising, etc....

Well I'm already very well known in some circles---> respected. So... at this point not sure what direction I want to take. Guess what though!!!! I did it,,, loaded the .php based Gallery ---> Now I have to go in and customize it, so... I am reading PHP help/learning pages today. Here is a page I'm currently on... http://us2.php.net/tut.php (((looks like something I can grasp since I already know HTML and CSS... have known it for a long.. long.. time.

PHP is new to me. Always good to learn new things. I may use the Gallery just for my stuff or may do something public with it------> leaning toward a private Gallery though. My hesitancy comes from not knowing PHP very well... yet.

Sorry, I don't..... I sell fine art works that would be compromised if seen on the web.....

Oh do tell!~ Yes I understand. I used to visit the National Gallery of Art Museum in Washington D.C. quite a bit (when I lived in the area) and LOVE the fine arts.

Look foreward to seeing it I would suggest encripted image blocks and/or watermarks to keep the pirates from capitalizing on your work

Alot of photography.....especially abstract photograms that I've made by shooting light through translucent creations. I also do metal, glass, and translucent stone sculptural art.....workshop with kilns, saws, tumblers, welders, soldering irons, etc.....you haven't lived until you spend a day doing detail soldering work with a 350 watt iron..... LOL.....

Well, I still think a self-portrait of yourself in glass like this would be a cool idea for a logo image

That's sweet~ I don't think I'd use myself as a logo. Was thinking more the Golden Gate Bridge since I was born in it's shadow so to speak. (Presidio of San Francisco is adjacent to the bridge---> and why I use Persidio---> a spelling variation of,,, but this way is better for a nick. LOL.

The Presidio used to be an old army base----> born in 1963. My Dad did three tours in Vietnam and has a 'Purple Heart Medal'. The Presidio of San Francisco is now a 'National Park'. ((The hospital I was born in has long since been torn down.)((We did live on base for a short time))... then house... then with my Granparents when Dad had to ship off)). You can find it pictures of it on the web easily. So I will most likely go thru old photos ----> or find some royalty free ones, or even email for permissions from the photographer if I find one I like. (((Usually artists are very open when you ask permissions)))((Being born there has it's perks, LOL----> anytime I go back to the city and mention it.... I am sooo in with the locals))). If not then I don't use, but have found that simply asking works wonders~

The Presidio of San Francisco is a U.S. National Historic Landmark.

P.S. All I did was put in Presidio----> and up comes Presidio of San Francisco~

Used to live on base with my family. Also my Grandfather was a Lt. Colonel and worked on base, and Grandma worked on base for a time too. When Dad was in 'Nam we lived with my Grandparents in Daly City (South San Francisco)... a nice view. My Grandmother was in the earthquake in 89' and she and her home were fine,,, but there was a family panic. My brother and Uncle were in the city and helping. Lots of memories there----> but I have lived all over the U.S.

Wow!!! You have quite a history behind you

Well, 44 and have lived life to the fullest~ Also just some strange circumstances mixed in too~ Life is bizarre that way. Happened to be driving on the highway in Florida when the shuttle blew up... thought at first it was an airplane... all cars including me pulling over to look up in the sky. ((You'all remember that right... ARGH))((Terrible))((I was about 23 when I lived in Florida)).

Was in what became the red zone for Mt. Saint Helens before it blew. Went back to Oregon---> and then because of company contracts went back to Washington and was able to fly (Helicopter) out to the the red zone after it blew and... look around. Didn't stay long but it was safe enough. ((Don't ask... another long but interesting story I've tried to shorten to a few lines above... (((Used to be a Pacific Northwest Girl, LOL)))

Stuff just happens to me not my fault. But it has helped me as a writer because the more bizarre life is.. the easier it is to create fictional scenerios (if that makes any sense). I will say my life has not been boring~.

Life is fun!~
