This theme is built using the Minimalisto theme. You might see changes occurring more frequently, at least when I have time to work on it.

Other than the new look, I modified an open source pastebin for myself, to be able to create and show text (http://www.andrewdefilippis.com/pastebin/view.php?id=b5shbknwwkyo). I started off modifying the original pastebin for use by ReachONE Internet technicians and administrators on an internal server, but decided to continue working on it for use on my own server. The index.php file is locked down for use by myself and those who I have given login credentials to. The random blog reader is not going to be able to paste any text to it, but everyone is able to view pastes that are linked to, similar to the link above.

Next to the search box is a Paypal donation link for my web hosting and camera equipment fund.  I do not expect anything from anyone who reads my blog.  But if you do feel generous enough to pass along spare change, I would be very thankful for your contribution and would like to promote your website, blog, flickr photostream, or reference your name.  As a college student with a part time job, every little bit helps.

My links on the right include some of my favorite sites to visit, including one blog by Carlos Miller called Photography Is Not A Crime.  Carlos updates his blog with stories about photographers rights being violated and is currently in a lengthy legal battle to have charges dropped for photographing police.  His stories are interesting and excellent.

Feel free to check through my links and see what you like.  Feel free to leave feedback about my website including my photography site.  If you have thoughts or ideas about what I should add, change or remove, let me know.

After a long night of setup and tinkering around with the settings for my site, I have finally produced a page that is atleast somewhat presentable.  I will be continually modifying my wordpress design within the next few weeks so the page will most likely change a bit.

This is my first time using a blog let alone hosting an entire website and I am hoping that I will not have any problems.
