The Blog Has MOVED!!

Hey there all you blog readers... something new and exciting is coming your way! I have just put the finishing touches on my NEW BLOG!!

I've been itching for a new look for a while now and the new blog is sporting some fancy features I've wanted for a while... comments displayed right in the page, an info and contact form right in the blog, plus dropdown categories for easy navigation... and just general fanciness all around :) I've also grown up a bit and dropped the .blogspot address in favor of the classy self-hosted address katyregnier.com/news so please update your bookmarks!

I'd like to give an extra special thanks to Jared at netrivet.com for designing the amazing wordpress theme I'm using, as well as all of his helpful step by step instructions that made the switch over so easy!

For all of you reading this through an rss reader, never fear! Your subscription will be re-routed and you don't even have to do anything! Posts from the new blog should be arriving in your reader just as they always have.

Plus (as if that wasn't enough) I imported all of my old blogger posts into my new blog (comments and all) so everything you see here is over there and more! So what are you waiting for?? Scoot on over to the NEW BLOG and say howdy! I'll be waiting!

All Fixed!

Well after a hectic afternoon it appears that the email contact form issue has been resolved. I sent a couple of test emails to myself (don't laugh, it was the only way!) and they seem to have gone through so I'm going to trust that it's working again. If you did happen to send me an email and not get a response, please do feel free to resend it. I won't mind, I love email :)

And just to prove that I do have more posts coming... here is a sneak peak from my Dallas weekend extravaganza post. Hopefully to be uploaded tomorrow. This is my sister and her boyfriend.... awww how cute!

Contact Email Issues!

It has come to my attention that the contact me page on my website is not working properly. I hadn't noticed because my email address IS still working, so if you have been sending me email the old fashioned way (using your email client instead of the contact form) I have received (and most likely responded to) your emails. It is only the emails coming FROM THE WEBSITE that aren't working.

I'm not sure how long this has been going on, and I am SO SORRY for the inconvenience. If you have sent me an email in the last couple of days and you haven't gotten a response, it's probably because I never got the message! I will obviously get this straightened out right away!

In the meantime, if you need to get in touch with me please send all email to info@katyregnier.com and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Sorry for the trouble and thank you for your patience! I'll let you know when this is all worked out.

out of the office

I can't believe it's already the end of October which means it's already time for my awesome European vacation! Ben and I have been looking forward to this trip for over a year... we got engaged while we were living in Paris back in 2005 and haven't been back since. We'll be gone until November 11th, which means I'll have spotty internet and non-existent phone service for a couple of weeks. If you do need to get in touch with me please send me an email and I'll do my best to get back to them as quickly as possible. I'm also going to shooting a couple of portrait sessions while we're away and on our quick stopover in New York coming home so look out for those as well.

Here are just a couple of photos from back in 2005:

server issues!

I'm sorry to say that my web server (where my blog photos are hosted) appears to be down at the moment. Sorry to those of you trying to check out the latest updates, I'm hoping to get this figured out as soon as possible. This may also be affecting my email so if you don't get a reply to an email you sent this evening, please try again tomorrow.

Thanks for your patience!

new look, new website, oh my!

Hey there blog readers...

you may have noticed a little bit of a change in the way the blog is looking and acting these days (or maybe you read this through something like google reader and haven't noticed a thing).

In any case I've been hard at work trying to give a little more attention to the blog and website to make them just that much more fabulous. On the blog you'll find a new sparkly navigation bar up top with shortcuts to labeled posts, plus a search function and a link to my illustration website and the photography homepage. Pretty spiffy huh?

The website is totally new and still somewhat under construction, but I love it so I couldn't help spilling the beans about it a little bit early :) Check it out here: katyregnier.com

One of the tricky things about DIY web design is getting it finished before you go crazy from too many hours in front of your computer screen. I'm taking a little break for my sanity but when I come back I'll be adding even more photos to the galleries and a couple more cool links as well. In the meantime let me know what you think!

Hope you enjoy!

Problem solved!

It was brought to my attention that the slideshows weren't working in Internet Explorer (that's what I get for only checking in Firefox!) I searched out a fix and I think they should be working in both now. If anyone's trying to view them in Safari or another browser and has problems please let me know! I like to have my websites as cross-browser friendly as possible.

Thanks and sorry for the earlier issues!
