New Website design..
I've been meaning to update the website for a while now, and here it is!. It's not a complete re-design, just added some more width and new photos, and updated content, and simplified much of the navigation.. I wanted to make it more personal, and get some proper photos of me, as I am, right now, so people know who I am!
As many of you know, I love to tinker, so dont be surprised if images and layouts change, but I hate it when websites say.. " undergoing maintenance " and theres nothing there, so I will be keeping it as live as possible but making sure the website is as easy to read as possible..
