Theme Switcher

Posted (Brian D. Oakes) in Website News on January-16-2010

I am currently working on adding some neat functionality to the site that will allow the visitor to choose between multiple themes so they can view my portfolio in a color theme that best suits their mood. Please note this is not 100% working at this time and you might find some errors using the themes.

The only theme that has been tested 100% is the default Black White and Grey theme.

New Portfolio Website

Posted (Brian D. Oakes) in Website News on January-8-2010

Hello,
After having a great website for the past 4 years and being ranked on all major search engines as a top long island graphic artist and long island photographer I have decided to redesign my portfolio website.

I ask that you please be patient with me as I continue to transition my content to the new site. You may find errors or missing content…. this is as to be expected as it will take me several days to finally convert everything over.
Thanks,

brian d. oakes
