Thanks so much Patti! The site was really easy to put together. With the positive feedback about the ad situation, it seems a good alternative to webshots.

Thanks Sandy! Yeah, Sunny mentioned the slideshow option. I hadn't even noticed that yet. LOL!
Now, I need to get to work so I can add more pics. ;-)

Very nice site and quilts. Boy, when you enlarge the pictures-they really enlarge. Love it. Gen
click on them and they'll get really big Gen
Looks good, Michelle!
As annoyed as I am with Webshots, I'd rather give them a chance to mend their ways. I get nervous about sites going belly up and having to do it all over again (been there, done that). And AdBlock, totally free, completely blocks the audio ads. Too bad there isn't a way to activate AdBlock transparently for visitors...

Thanks Heidi!
I hope they pay attention!

Totally understandable. I haven't deleted my webshots account yet. I'm kind of waiting to see what happens. But in the meantime, I've got a site that won't blast people out of their chairs. ;-)
And AdBlock, totally
Ain't that the truth? Yeah, webshots wasn't bothering me since I surf with my speakers turned off, but I could see how some might be dissuaded from visiting.

Oops, Michelle, I neglected to say how nice your quilts are. I haven't been a big fan of watercolors, but I love your verticals wallhanging.

Hi Heidi,
Your so sweet to make the extra effort to tell me! I've done other watercolors, but I must admit that one--which is the first one I did--is my favorite. I no longer have that one, (when we moved I sold it) and am considering making another for myself.

Odd effect on my ancient browser - I don't see any ads, though there is quite a delay while it's loading the code to display them (THREE different ad sites?). No pictures at all are visible on the home page, but things work okay once in the galleries (I need to tell the browser "load missing images", but I'm used to that with sites that hide images behind Javascript).
Navigation doesn't always work - some of the thumbnails don't seem to be linked to anything (actually, two of the Scrappy Collection ones do, nothing else). Maybe that's just because it's still under construction? The second of those wallhangings looks like it should be spectacular full-size.
It's a bit slow (Photobucket is way faster) but at least twice as fast as Webshots.
Good stuff. You've got quite a distinctive style.

Hi Jack,
Thanks for taking a look. The site is rather...ahem...primitive. The only thing I really wanted it for was to display my quilt pics. There is no blog, and very limited text under the "About Me".
As for the pics, if you click on the thumbnail to wallhangings, it should take you to two photos, and if you click on either of those, you should get the bigger version. Same with the scrappy quilts pics folder, except there are more pictures in that one.
I *think* there is only one ad displayed in a banner at the top, however, it may change from one ad to another. Haven't really paid attention.
