I’ve continued to regularly add updates:

• Height of the masthead has been reduced to increase its aesthetic apppeal
• Adjusted header to center masthead above the body
• Changed the background color of the drop down menus and properly set the hovering highlight effect
• Added purple border to posts
• Introduced Costa Rica, Nashville, Western, Northern, Maine, Delaware, and Southern Road Trips, Ireland, Falling Water, Germany, Southern California, and Caribbean Cruise photo galleries
• All photo galleries from the Pacific Northwest up through the Maine Road Trip have been properly ordered and descriptions have been placed under each photo to properly relate the story of the trip/image

Over the next week, I will focus mainly on reordering and properly labeling the galleries up through Germany.

I’ve added some more architectural features:

• properly center the masthead
• added background color to the drop-down menu
• increased border size of posts and changed the color
• changed the color of the date circle, RSS feed, underline bar, and search button
• greatly modified the photography section by adding buttons and two sample galleries

I can’t figure out how to change the rollover color of the drop-down menu text.  I still need to modify the borders around the “reply” and “comments” section.  But overall, decent progress.
