This site will always be under construction. I am using it not only to provide online access to my resumes and portfolio, but also to teach myself more about my computer. In order to get all of this online, I've had to teach myself HTML, Flash, Photoshop, and a bunch of tricks that go along with each of those.
Along the way, I found a few sites that have been instrumental in making me understand different things, and it's only fair that I give them the credit they deserve.
HTML Tutorial -- Davesite.com contains the simplest, most user-friendly HTML tutorial I've ever seen. It's the first one that came up on the Google search, and it was the most helpful.
IHiP -- This was my first step in figuring out how to put together the imagemaps that make up the non-flash version of this site.
DesignsbyMark.com -- Designs by Mark has a lot of wonderful Flash tutorials. This is where I went to learn how to make a "preloader" after unsuccessfully trying the Flash help files.
Your-Site -- Your-Site.com is currently hosting this site, and I'm quite pleased with their service so far. Their prices are really low and their support staff is great.
GoDaddy -- If you don't have your domain name yet, this is the place to get it. $8.95 a year.
Photography by Elias -- For those of you in the Los Angeles area, this is the photographer who took all of my headshots. Contact him the next time you need to get some pictures done -- he does excellent work.
Other photography credits on this site are as follows: Greg Wahlmeier, "Winter Wonderland" and "I Dance, Therefore I Am." Genie Nakano, "Dance: Expressions of the Soul." Scott Evans and Christian Carvajal, "Creative Juices." Production crew, "Peeping Tom." David Fairchild, "Seascape." Katrina Kalatzis, "The Pajama Game," "Mass Appeal," and "Graceland." All graphics and Flash movies are property of Katrina Kalatzis and thecheshirekat.net and may not be used elsewhere without permission.
Thanks to all the people who have helped me test this site out every step of the way. James, I never would have made it this far without the basic tools you've given me-thank you so much. Chris, Bryan, and Carv -- I appreciate your input. Thanks for troubleshooting everything with me.
As this is a work in progress and a learning experience, I welcome your feedback and your criticism. Please feel free to email me with suggestions, comments, or complaints.
Thank you!
