I've finished uploading my portfolio. There were some missteps along the way.
Images uploaded to Blogger are automatically stored in a Picasaweb folder. I didn't know that when I started and actually had another public folder for my portfolio. When I realized that, I deleted the public folder and made the 'default' folder public.
The good news is that I won't have to update Picasaweb manually. The bad news is I had to delete duplicates, which deleted several photos in my posts. Because of the way Picasaweb handles file storage, Blogger couldn't find the remaining photos even though they were in the 'folder'.
Google does some great stuff (privacy paranoia aside) but their directory handling for Photos is really unintuitive, to say the least.
I've also added links to the side bar so instead of digging through old posts to view my work you can go straight to my picasa folder to check out my portfolio.
I welcome comments or critisism as long they're constructive and respectful. Let me know what you think!
I've been fighting with Blogger, trying to upload images. It's not that they can't be uploaded but Blogger really isn't meant to be 'photo' site so the process is pretty clunky and multiple photos in one post can be really hard to manage.

The art of tattooing in China actually dates back much farther then its in the West. Until very late in the 20th century and mainly in the early 21st century, tattooing becomes fashion in the West. The art of tattooing has a long history in Asian including China, Japan, and even Thailand. What are ironic about these are Chinese tattoos were mostly used in many of the Asian cultures to mark
