A new Awards section was also added to the Resources margin of this web site to showcase the various awards and accolades that Shawna has received.

  • Also, the Resume section of the web site was replaced with a Site Index section, which should help provide a simple search like capability for the web site. The Biography section button bar image was updated to say Biography as it originally just said Bio.

  • December 2nd, 2005:

  • A couple of Google AdSense related advertisement spots where added to the web site.  One was added to the very bottom of the web site’s home page and the others were added to the bottom portion of the Resources margin on the right side of most site web pages.  At this time these ads are just an experiment to see how beneficial AdSense might be to the web site.

  • Also, Shawna has added five new photographs to the Color Digital Photography – E gallery.

  • Thanks...David

  • Minor tweaks were made to the HTML div elements, so that individual page objects will maintain more consistent locations across the multiple pages of the web site.

  • Thanks...David

  • October 2nd, 2005:

  • The majority of the main and secondary HTML pages have been updated to remove as many HTML table elements as possible.  The pages have been redesigned using the div element and a stronger emphasis on cascading style sheet (CSS) use.  The Order Prints and Gallery sections of the web site will soon be updated.  Some of the externally provided HTML code in the Links section still uses tables as well as The Site Wizard code used in the Contact section.

  • Thanks...David

  • September 26th, 2005:

  • PHP-Blogger was upgraded from 2.2.0 to 2.2.2.  This upgrade added the ability to include a single photo with a news post instead of having to post a slide show for a single photo.  The upgrade also added some backend features that should boost performance and enhance the scalability of the PHP-Blogger Application.

  • Thanks...David

  • September 14th, 2005:

  • A new gallery was added to showcase Shawna’s wedding photography.  More photographs will be added to the gallery as Shawna photographs more weddings professionally. 

  • A new release of PHP-Blogger was installed.  One new feature of PHP-Blogger is a RSS parser which has now replaced the old RSS feed for the web site.  The Updates section of the web site will no longer be apart of the RSS feed.

  • Link colors where changed to make the text appear brighter against the site’s background and therefore easier to read.  Link rollover actions where changed to only underline the text as the mouse is moved over them.

  • Thanks...David

  • August 8th, 2005:

  • An Order Prints link was added to the bottom navigation bar of the web site.  An Order Prints button was also add to several of the galleries to allow those interested to visit the store and order prints.  The Order Prints section of the web site contains a dedicated set of store galleries to allow anyone to view those prints that are currently being promoted.  Additional information about ordering prints from ShawnaStucky.com is available in the Order Prints section of the web site.

  • Thanks...David

  • July 24th, 2005:

  • Two photographs were moved to the Color Digital Photography – B Gallery and two new photographs were added to the Color Digital Photography – C Gallery to replace the moved photographs.

  • A link to Shawna’s personal blog was added to the bottom navigation bar of the web site.  The purpose of the blog is to provide a place to share snapshoots and family photos that are not necessarily meant to be promoted as part of her professional photography.  

  • A Linking to ShawnaStucky.com area was added to the Links section of the web site.  The purpose is to provide a consistent and easy to implement link to ShawnaStucky.com for those that wish to link to us from their own web site.

  • Thanks...David

  • May 28th, 2005:

  • The Biography section of the web site was updated to reflect Shawna’s recent graduation from Penn State University.

  • Thanks...David

  • April 1st, 2005:

  • A Really Simple Syndication (RSS) XML file was added to the web site. RSS will allow anyone that wishes to add this web site's feed to their RSS reader or favorite aggregator. The purpose is to allow those that subscribe to the RSS feed to be notified when the Updates section or the as of yet unlinked Blog section of this web site is updated. The link for the XML file was added to the bottom right corner of the web site's home page. If you are interested in learning more about the current trends of blogging or RSS, please visit your favorite Internet search engine. There is a lot of information about blogging and RSS throughout the Internet.

  • Thanks...David

  • March 27th, 2005:

  • A section of the web site was renamed to Shawna's Photography from the old title of Work Flow. The section was updated to include information about Shawna's academic experience and photography skills in both black and white film and color digital photography.

  • Thanks...David

  • March 19th, 2005:

  • At the risk of making the web site look more cluttered I added the left Galleries margin, the right Resources margin, and the bottom button bar to all the secondary web pages. The intent is to improve the navigation of the web site and to keep from forcing visitors back to the home page just to visit another section of the web site.

  • A new email web form was also added under the Contact section of the site. This will hopefully make it easier for people to contact Shawna though it stills needs a little tweaking.

  • Thanks...David

  • March 12th, 2005:

  • Welcome to our first update and what's new message. Shawna and I have poured a lot more work into this web site that we ever imagined. We actually officially started working on this joint project Jan. 9th, 2005. It has been a long fun road and I am personally very proud of what we have done with the web site design and of what Shawna has done with her photography. We are currently working on getting a little more textual information about Shawna’s photography and our collaborative development on the web site. For those that are interested we hope to sale some of Shawna’s photography through the web site soon, but right now we are concentrating on making sure we have a strong well designed web site.

  • It appears that we were officially accepted to be part of Nikonians.org's webring this morning. We would like to officially thank them for allowing our site to become part of their webring. Yes, I am going to get Shawna to upgrade her membership to Nikonians.org. You really have to motivate (force) her to get anything done. I think that is why she keeps me around. ;-)

  • Thanks...David
