Well, it’s about time!  The new site is here!  As you may have noticed, the web site for Treasured Image has changed.  Changed for the better with a new look and format.  The biggest change is the elimination of  Flash content from the site.  For those of you that are unfamiliar with Flash, it’s a little piece of programming that makes all the pretty slide shows and music work on some web sites.  While Flash makes for a nice web site, there’s a downside.  Google, Ask, Yahoo and other search engines don’t like Flash.  Yup, they don’t, the reason is they can’t read the content of the Flash based site as easily.  As a result Flash sites don’t rank as well as other sites.  This is called low SEO or, Search Engine Optimization.  At my age, it’s common to keep an eye out for high cholesterol, so now I need to watch out for low SEO?  To make Google and the other search sites happy, I dumped the Flash content.

A second benefit, this blog.  I am looking forward to sharing some of my latest work, like the image to your left, this is from a wedding I shot in September.  They were a great couple, it was a wonderful day and loads of fun!  When I first saw this picture on the screen during editing I was very excited!  Everything was perfect, the way they were centered in the aisle, their expressions, the reflection in the floor, everything!  The image is pretty much as shot, with no photoshop enhancements.

The third, and I think best of all benefits is that I will be able to keep content both images and text updated, something that has been a bit of a challenge lately given my busy schedule.
