OK, I knew that already before this week. I do web site construction and redesign tasks on a regular basis as my paid job, and have always found it to be a lot of fun and full of great challenges.
I gave 500th.net a small overhaul and made all the elements appear in the same basic designs on the front pages.
I also added large galleries with more images than my usual What I shot series, and that series also got a makeover and some technical changes.
To top it off I added some new links back and forth between all sections, meaning that images can lead to gear and gear can lead to articles - heck, all elements can lead to each other, meaning that there's a larger coherence between the different sections.
