Julytree.Org
Julytree.org was registered with
StartLogic on January 4, 2008. I created it by writing my HTML in Notepad, editing graphics with Adobe Photoshop, and uploading files through FileZilla. All of the photos used in layouts were taken by me using the
Panasonic Lumix TZ4, unless otherwise noted. Blogging is done through CGI with Greymatter. The Gallery is maintained using
Coppermine and MySQL. In July 2008, I validated the site with the
W3C Markup Validation Service.
Julytree.org was not my first domain - in fact, I had another one for six years beginning in 2002 - but this is my fresh start. I am hoping with this domain to share my ideas, philosophies, and experiences, primarily concerning veganism and the environment. I want to make a difference in the world, and the internet is one valuable tool in that process. I also simply want this site to become a fun project for me to oversee in my free time, to see how far it takes me.

Layouts...
- Version 1 (January-June 2008): Featured a photograph I took of a swimming area in Hawaii in August 2007, edited a bit with Photoshop. I was looking through all of the pictures I had of trees, and this one seemed to be the closest to those you'd actually see in July (most were winter pictures!).
- Version 2 (June 2008-January 2009): Created with Photoshop and div layers. It featured a photo I took of a flower in Costa Rica in January 2008. I also used a mouse over effect for the navigation menu.
- Version 3: Created with Photoshop, image mapping, and div layers. Veganism theme to really give a more central focus to the site. Featuring photos again from Costa Rica.
Laura Lee:: I am vegan. I am tattooed. I love the earth. I believe in love regardless of gender or race. I will spend my life fighting oppression and spreading compassion. Sometimes my dogs are my favorite people in the world. My family has a second home on the big island of Hawaii, and that is where my heart is. I wish I could fly away...
