Granny 2.0

I rewrote my grandmother's website recently: www.gladysleach.com. My gran has been painting since before my parents were born, and is very well-known in Cork. She mostly does paintings of local buildings and landscapes. My aunt now sells her art through the website.

I originally wrote the website for my aunt back around 2003. It was a typical zero-budget, table-driven, non-standards compliant, ugly thing then. Not one of my more proud programming achievements.

I feel much happier about the new site though. It is at least fully standards compliant. I have been learning loads about XHTML and CSS in the last year or two, and I finally applied that knowledge in re-developing this website. I think the site also looks a lot nicer. I'm still no graphic designer, nor do I wish to be, but I think I did a reasonable job this time of making the site fairly attractive and easy to navigate.
