Website Revamp in Progress

I've been really busy lately with work, and working on my own pet projects, so I haven't really had a chance to update my own website.

For the past month or so, I've been working on a design for it, but now that I have a few weeks free between school and work, I've been working on my new site, so it's coming soon! :)

Site Statistics & New Website
Well, I've been really researching and playing with search engine optimization (SEO) and dan-lev.com's statistics. The website is doing much better (visitor-wise) than it was doing before the site went down in September.

Unfortunately I haven't had much time for photography since I've been busy with school.

I have a new website that I'm really excited about. I bought the domain name, designed it, and programmed the majority of it. Before I finish, I just realized a legal/policy-type problem that I may have with running site. So I'm going to clear up everything in that department and then I should have it released. Unfortunately, this site is going to be only for a particular audience. Before I get too close to giving it away, I'm going to stop.

Version 2.0 Complete!
After 75 Days of Brainstorming, Designing, Programming, and Debugging, mixed with the start of a freshman year in college, I have finally completed version 2.0 of Dan Lev Designs & Photography. I'm really excited about this. First of all, I'm going to give a rundown of the new features & changes:

• My Blog - Redesigned, added archives for old entries, and added a RSS feed
• My Portfolio - Completely Redesigned, Added aWeb section for websites I design.
• Stuff - Completely redesigned and reprogrammed. A new AJAX (What is AJAX?) search-as-you-type feature was added that I am really excited about.
• Past 24 - A completely new feature. This displays the past 24 hours of activity within the site, including new comments, blog articles, links, and stuff.
• Links - The links page was changed around a bit. Added a "Must-See Links" section as well as a new feature called the Links Sandbox where users can submit their own links.

And that's not all that's changed! Be sure to check everything out! I've also added links on the bottom of every page to add the current page to your http://del.icio.us bookmarks. Del.icio.us is a website where you can submit, organize, and share your bookmarks with the world.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments! I'd love to hear everyone's feedback!

Flaw
My brother just recently told me that there was a problem viewing the front page using Internet Explorer. I checked, and for some strange reason, there was a script tag on the page. This means Internet Explorer was reading the rest of the page as Javascript. Firefox, on the other hand, closes useless tags.

Firefox wins again. So, If you're using Internet Explorer, PLEASE, switch. Click the logo on the right.

Update: Ever wonder what your uvula looks like? I didn't even think it was photographable! I was amazed at the way this photo came out! I just decided to add it to my Photography Gallery. I took it a while ago. Check it out!
