Jacob on Bus

Smugmug (my main photo site) has moved onto a completely new platform - so I had to redesign my site. I sorof liked the old site, so it has been a bit of a hassle. It is very customizable - but that means one has to make a whole lot of choices. I think they may have blown it. I hope they can fix it by making it easier to pick a "standard" site where someone else has made all the choices.
