challenges

I think the biggest challenges I'll face are:

• getting good photos. My camera can't focus well through the glass for individual fish shots. Also, lighting may be tricky at home for overall tank/equipment shots but this won't be as tough as the fish shots. I hope that my post will bring me lots of good free shots.
• good graphic design. I'm sure that the ideas of what I want will be tough to create. I'm not sure what program I'll use for the graphic design end...I have PShop and Illustrator, but I'm not a wiz with either. I can fudge stuff sometimes, but not sure the files will work online. Basically, I've learned that with any new software you'll encounter unanticipated problems and delays...so my head is on the realistic/pessimistic side of the fence for the time being.
• respecting copyright. It will be tempting to grab random photos online if I don't get a good response from the fish-people.
• good navigation desingn. I'll plan the site out on paper or with a free flow-chart software, but even so, there are so many ways to skin the cat...it may be hard to decide on the best way to route traffic through what will undoubtedly be the most-visited site of 2007.
