    Hi everyone

    I had been testing diffferent CMS’s over the past 4 to 5 weeks and decided on wordpress a couple of weeks ago. Not understanding advanced code but agreeing that it is poetry, I chose wordpress for it’s ability to expand and customize. And thank you Abelgraphics for use of your theme for the time being.

    I’m an artist. Feel free to check out my site. I welcome comments and am open to discussion. My beta site located under blogroll contains most of my creations (200 hundred or so) from the past few years. I’ll be working with a firned to develop my own theme and hope to share with you too.

    No matter how I write this it is going to sound sappy. I want to say a big thank you to WordPress and all you other bloggers in the wordpress community. I’ve been reading and reading and learning.

    cheers to opensource and sharing! – Jessica

    Beautiful theme. Post not sappy. Blog very interesting and struck a note. I’d have just a little less right and bottom margin around those floated images (especially bottom), and I’d tidy up the left side of the comments section (text lines don’t line up quite right). But otherwise great.

    Hi, thanks pcmt and samboll.

    Pcmt – took your advice and tightened up the margin around the floating images. Thx. The comments section will be cleaned up shortly. I agree with you.

    Any other comments, feedback would be welcome – http://www.jessicadoyle.ca

    I’m an efficient print designer 10+ years – web is still pretty new. However, with that said… You make a mistake on the web and it can be fixed for the most part, easily. In print you could have 100 000 copies with a spelling error or an image aligned to the wrong side and thus have to re-print. LOL

    Well… another difference between print and the web is that images are inefficient on the web – they take up a lot of bytes and can take time to download. So it’s best to optimise them down using a program like Photoshop (“save for web”, which reduces the number of colours).

    I looked at the file sizes of your images (as your homepage took a long time to download) and they’re huge. You could cut those file sizes down to maybe 20% of what they are without too much loss of quality.
