Finally, after much speculation, rumors, and other innuendo, I have released the new theme to the ol' website.  I call this theme "Shenandoah", mostly because the banner is from one of my pictures I took while hiking around Shenandoah National Park (the picture in question is shown below). 

For now, I am sticking with Graffiti as my site's engine.  I've been poking around the latest code drop from the Codeplex site, and one of the things I wanted (routing) is enabled.  Now, I just need to wait for my host to move me to Windows Server 2008 before I use that feature.  One other major change is the database engine.  I finally moved all of the data from VistaDB to SQL Server.  I had no problems with VistaDB, it worked fine for a low-traffic site such as this one.  However, as of right now there is no license for VistaDB distributed with the latest Graffiti source code.  Besides, I have been using SQL Server for years, and I have all of the necessary tools to keep the schema and data updated.

I'm no designer, but I am pretty happy with how the site came out.  I still may tweak a few styles here and there, but otherwise it looks good to go.  And, of course, there are a few areas that I need to "beef up" - projects in particular.  Feedback is welcome, so fire away.
