So, what I'm using isn't the answer for sure. I bought a template, and it was WAY over my head, so I had my friend RC Concepcion use Flash to customize the template with my images and text, and it totally kicked his butt, too (and he's great at Flash). The portfolio I have in place is a bit of a nightmare to update (to say the least). I haven't really settled on a service at this point, and I think it's because what I really want is something I can update and maintain myself. If you had to do it over again, would you just use a service? If so, which one and why? If not, why? RM: You just underwent the pain of building a new portfolio site as I am doing in my Web hosting series where I reviewed liveBooks, FolioSnap, SiteWelder and Smugmug Pro. Have you ever thought about doing anything like that? What I’d really love to see is a 7 Point System for Lightroom 2 for those who really are happy with Lightroom and are willing to live without Photoshop. Ron: 7 Point System for CS3 is one of my most recommended Photoshop books, but I’m also a big fan of Lightroom (especially your Lightroom 2 book). I've learned a lot since I wrote that book in particular on how people implemented the system, and I found ways to make it even easier, and that makes it more powerful, so I'm pretty excited about the changes I have coming for it next time around. I don't have one planned for CS4 because Adobe hasn't changed enough of CS4 to make the system that much different, but I am updating (and further simplifying) "The System" for the next version of Photoshop (though still a ways off). Naturally, I’m very curious to know if a CS4 is in the works and how you might do things differently in this version. RM: I’m a huge fan of the 7 Point System and consider it to be the pivotal book that helped me get to the next level in Photoshop. I hope you enjoy the conversational tone and hearing the thoughts of this industry icon. What follows in this section are his responses to some of the questions I’ve been wanting to ask him for quite some time. ![]() Recently I (RM below) had the pleasure of interviewing Scott Kelby (SK below). Not only is he one of my favorite authors, but he’s also has a excellent portfolio. What do my Top Photographers list, Which Books Should I Read?, and What Photoshop Books Should I Read? articles all have in common? Yep, you guessed it – Scott Kelby is a key figure in all of them. Please enjoy these articles when you have some free time. NOTE: To new readers of my blog, I always hyperlink topics that for which I have already written an article.
