J Jacobson Photography Website Update

Spent the week­end updat­ing our web­site with the help of The Turn­ing Gate Web Devel­op­ment Plu­g­ins TTG Stage CE, TTG Pages and TTG Auto Index CE. Our web­site now bet­ter sup­ports our mobile com­mu­nity with non Flash gal­leries and where we still use Flash these gal­leries are acces­si­ble to mobile phones and other mobile devices. I have test our new look on Droid X, Black­berry and iPhone phones and the site looks great on them.  I have incor­po­rated a bet­ter proof­ing sys­tem, right from our home page, for our client with pass­word pro­tec­tion as an option too. We wel­come your feed­back and watch for more cool fea­tures to come. We’re bet­ter today and The Turn­ing Gate has made it easier.

Out Riding With Friends

Out rid­ing with my bud­dies Ger­ald and Todd on Sun­day August 1st; we met for break­fast and some con­ver­sa­tion in Van­cou­ver, WA. Our ride took us on back roads over to Long Beach for lunch. We had beau­ti­ful weather most of the way though got a bit cold when we hit Hwy 101; 59 degree on the 1st of August. It was a fun spir­ited ride of just over 350 miles; here is photo made in Long Beach where we stopped for lunch at the Crab Pot.
