Summary: Today I read a blog entry in kwerfeldein.de that I thought warranted an answer by me. Martin wrote about what makes him enthusiastic about photography, stating that the ongoing learning (alone as well as with others) while seeing results and successes is a big part of what he likes about photography. At the end of the post, he asked his readers, what it is for them that makes them enthusiastic about photography. I’m not yet sure how this blog post will end, so sorry for any jump in thoughts I might do. Lesen Sie mehr...

Summary: Some of you might remember that I used to do a post with my favorites from Zooomr and DeviantART each week. I got out of the habit because I didn’t have the time for it but I want to try this again - but this time with the favorites from Flickr. Below you see my favorites from the last week - starting with the first one, going all the way to my most recent favorite. All of them provide the links to the pictures on Flickr - so if you like some of the shots, head over to Flickr and leave those guys and gals some comments or favorite their pictures, too.

I’m bored with the design of my old blog and iWeb has become too restrictive for me, so I’m now using RapidWeaver for my website. The current theme is still a work in progress, so don’t be surprised if you see the design of it change quite a bit over time but I already love the flexibility of it even though I am still learning the app.
So what is new on this site?:

I can now use HTML, CSS and Javascript on elements, so the whole site will be more informative and stylish (hopefully)

You can now click on the pictures in the Blog entries to see bigger versions. I love this effect!

RSS wil include all pictures now *yay*

The page now supports smileys *yay*

Comments are being hosted by HaloScan - if you click on Comments on the startpage, they will appear in a new window; if you go to the page of the blog entry (by clicking on the title) you’ll see the comments on the site (sorry for the ugly style of the comments, my changes don’t seem to stick)

In the sidebar you’ll see a tag cloud (once there are tags), a monthly archive of my articles as well as categories

I also added a Flickr Badge to the sidebar, where you’ll see the photos I uploaded to Flickr recently.

The page „Flickr Favs“ shows you a slideshow of pictures I recently favorited on Flickr - unfortunately I can’t directly link to the pictures this way but I’ve put a link to my favorites page on Flickr, so you’ll be able to get to those pictures that way

On the „About me“ page you’ll find some very, very basic info about me plus a list of my photogear and links to my profile on several social networks

More to come soon!
