Hey, black and white fans,

I've just retooled my website to not only include images that I've shot but also 'zine content. Do you think these two ideas work well together or should I have 'zines separate from photography? Just looking for opinions...

Also, what do you think of my site for photography? Is it easy to navigate--any holes, etc.? I'm trying to make it more interesting for everyone involved. Please let me know what you think!

Thank you,

Sincerely, Cynthia E. Jones Photographer

Your site is very nice. You have a nice blending of samples of your work. Your personality shows in some of your images (i.e. "paperhats"). One thing that I would suggest is that you drop the tripod service and goto a domain like www.cynthiajones.com without the tripod. They stick in those moving banner ads and distract from your beautiful pictures. Also move your webring navigation somewhere else. Don't give people an exit on your first page. Great talent!

Thanks for the advice. I'd love to change to a "dot com" of my own, but then I'd have to re-create the whole thing, and I can't fathom that right now. Also, it costs money. If I want to, I can change my banners to pop-ups. Are those more or less annoying than embedded ads? I'm unsure what my visitors think. I will definitely move my webring page to another page. Thanks again,
