Ruminations of a Rock-n-Roll Accountant

For those of you who have been around since the beginning, you'll remember the pitiful photo galleries we used to have. For those who haven't been here since the begining, let me recap. "In the beginning, Good always overpowered the evils Of all man's sins... But in time, The nations grew weak." No wait, that's Motley Crue. In the beginning of our site, our original photo galleries were sad. We had to hand edit each picture & hand code each page to show off the photos we took. It was painstakingly, mindnumbingly boring and tedious work. As a result, we usually chose the best 10 or 12 pictures from each show and that was that.

Then, we found the greatness of a program called Gallery and all was right with the world. It automated the process of storage, archiving, sizing, display, captioning, and almost everything else. It pretty much does everything but go to the show and take the pictures. Gallery is pretty much responsible for the photo gallery being so extensive. Now, think of MovableType as the equivalent of Gallery except for the written word. Seriously, it's that good. I'm hopeful that the ease of updating now will allow all of us here at D-A.com to update much more frequently.

Plus, it gives us the ability to easily add new content - which we're working on. I don't want to give it away just yet but I think it will be very interesting.

So, stay tuned - now that I can login, type my message, press a few buttons and have it all be magically updated, archived and all that jazz, you might get sick of me.
