How does business make it different?

You no longer treat it as an art form? (I'm just guessing.)

Presentation is hugely important, DTS. You don't go into a job interview wearing sandals and a wife beater...

If you're interested, I could probably hook you up for the price of that flash template. I'd just need to make it dynamic and clean up the design and match it to your color scheme with real logo. (I did the faux 3D off-hand in Photoshop and now that its done I can see some things I'll need to fix. I also mixed in a table with the div layout because I couldn't justify the time it was taking to make the god damn thing when I could just use a simple table to wrap it.)
Sorry Bit - missed this the first time. I do like that basic layout - nice and clean, easy to navigate, not overcooked but still a professional feel to it. I'm going to look at some more templates then get back to you - but I really like what you did there.

OK XEROS I'LL BITE.

Why yes, yes I am planning on selling it. I'm glad you were able to deduce this fact with the subtle hints I gave about a website for my photography business. As I've stated elsewhere, I've already sold some of my shots and am doing fairly steady work with things like senior portraits, family portraits, and did a wedding a couple weeks ago.

So I'm assuming you keep your good stuff away from our photo thread?

Poor xer0s.

Bitterness is becoming evident. At least you keep coming back for more.

Another word xer0s doesn't know the meaning of. :olo:

Show me the pretentious posts you are talking about.

Like my pictures or not, they are selling - and no, I'm not going to post someone's wedding pics here.

:olo:

You can post yours when you get...

i dunno about that. DTS is just flat out...ummm...oblivious? i think that might be the word i'm looking for. there is clear motivation and certain degree of understanding to be found within xer0s' posts.

unless i missed some epic flame war all i can see here is a lot of misunderstanding and miscommunication that has created a slight degree of hostility.

Hostile, no. Pathetic and failed attempts to troll my posts and my threads, yes.

But this is all part of the plan, and we are all the fools for playing into his inter-persona. Time to move on.

Stu is right, I was just wondering about your new found business and wanted to see some of your "good" work that you've been selling. And you flat out attacked me. I'm shocked really...
