All righty. I'm trying to stay away from too much design / graphic work, being as it's not my forte, but I will definitely keep that in mind if I end up with any thorny problems!

Hi, James! I like your post. I have never been much of a photographer since I was about 14 and had one of those first little digital cameras that probably cost my parents an arm and a leg (or at least a few fingers) and didn't have a decent view-finder or any flash at all. I was disappointed with it, and eventually discarded the notion of all photography. However, my mother is enthusiastically amateur.

While working on a couple of websites recently, I needed a graphics program, and stumbled on GIMP. I have to say, I really like it. I know it gets some flack for not being Photoshop, but I can do everything I need to (my needs are a bit limited) and it seems to have all the proper functionality. The only thing that bothered me for a while was the inability to open .psds, but I got that figured out with a ghostscript hack, so it's all good now.

Hey, James.

Thanks for the comment. Writing I can do, and have done for a long time -- internet marketing I'm still trying to get the hang of. I think your articles are valuable, and I look forward to gleaning a lot of good tips and information from them!

Thanks for the ideas on future posts, too. I'm always collecting possible topics.
