[Mael-list] New look website

I've not had any problems with the gallery, so far I've only viewed  
it in Safari on a Mac. I'm not crazy about having to close every  
picture before viewing the next one though.  I am a web designer as  
well and like Anne am not particularly fond of all-Flash websites  
either. Sure, they have a cool factor but after a while the load  
times and awkward navigation become simply annoying. Flash is great  
for animations and what-not, but for site layout I'll take good old  
HTML any day of the week.

If you want an extreme example of an initially cool but quickly hair- 
pullingly annoying Flash site, visit Todd Rundgren's site:
http://www.tr-i.com/

Soapbox aside now, Sparks new site is clever and looks very nice- and  
unlike the last one you don't have to click moving targets!
