• Not a huge update as far as content goes but it certainly took a lot of work on the back-end!
  
  I've modified the "AJAX Gallery" functionality. Instead of having a link to toggle it on and off (by storing a cookie in the browser) I've decided to go for a more intuitive and search-engine-friendly way. Now, AJAX-style links will be displayed by default. If, for whatever reason, you don't want to use them you probably have Javascript turned off anyway and thus would see the newly added "noscript" tags. Either way, the gallery is quicker now and a lot more Google-compatible...which is always a good thing.
  
  Second, and less importantly, is that all the artwork that used to have those placeholder descriptions ("This is just a test description...") have now been updated to just be shortened versions of full description. Why does that matter? Well, it looks better and it gives you a better idea of what the artwork is about. It's something I plan on manually writing for each piece in the future, but for now this should work fine. :)
  
  And that's it!
