About this site

This site is still a work in progress, so please don't be surprised to see features change from time to time. If there are things that you like or don't like, please feel free to email either Naomi (using the menu link) or the webmaster to let us know what you think. One caveat - right now this site is designed as a web catalog, with limited purchasing capabilities. The longer term goal is a full fledge shopping site. Stay tuned.

A number of fantastic, FREE tools were used to put this site together from scratch, and we wanted to use this space to say thanks and to point people to these tools and tutorial sites.

At the core of this catalog is ZenPhoto around which a few web pages were built zenPHOTO
Image tools
GIMP is a full featured image manipulation package GIMP
If you want to see what GIMP and other programs can do, deviantART is a good place to start, and that is where I first found all the wonderful brushes that have been created by Stephanie at Obsidian Dawn Obsidian Dawn
For viewing pictures, and for full image modifications, Irfanview has been of my regular tools Irfanview
HTML Editors
For quick editing and because I spent many years using VI, gVIM has become my main tool for minor changes gVim
I also found Komodo Edit, which for a free editor has some powerful aids for coding and debugging a wide range of languages Komodo edit
Tutorials and code sources
As a quick place to look up reference material or to learn about a wide range of web languages, W3schools cannot be beat w3schools
For learning about CSS and a huge range of example files, CSSplay by Stu Nicholls was an invaluable resource CSSplay
