It's time to get back to work in the real world. Here is a Mosrite body, almost completely recovered from its brush with water-based polyurethane. Stick with oil-based, water-based is junk.
This one went through a long and torturous build process over almost two years. All I can say is don't believe the "advice" you find on talk_ass. However, in the end, it turned out to be a pretty nice instrument.
Yet another feature of WordPress that really doesn't work well is the Media Library. The problem is when you have a great many images, it really bogs down and becomes very difficult to find anything. To make it run faster, set the thumbnail size to 200x200, and use the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin to do what it says. This will result in true thumbnails that will load almost as fast as you can scroll.
