Thanks, Brian,
My Parisian friend Francisco San Millan
http://sanmillan.free.fr/ did the design work, essentially updating three decade-old sites into one combined, modern site with PayPal abilities. After he designed it, I used his pages as templates to modernize the 100+ biographies I'd written from 1997-2001 and make them new again. Together we eventually go everything to work together and function as a modern unit. I learned a hell of a lot implementing all the updates - but there's no way in hell that I could have paid anyone to do all of the grunt work. Thanks to Francisco for his designs and templates and to Karen (and friends Jeri Dansky and Nancy Kocot) for the proofing and attention to detail that made it all function.
Most interesting aspect of my site is the position it surfaces in Google when you search on the word Illustrators.
Good luck with your own updates.
Peace, Jim (|:{>
