I noticed that Google is picking up the new website as of yesterday.  The new pages are on the second page of Google links but at least I know that it's picking up the pages.  The rest is up to me and whatever effort I put into it.

For anyone who is following this thread with the thought of doing something similar in Wordpress:

I went to a couple of search engines with a few keywords and I found that I had references to old HTML pages that I removed from my webhost.  I went back and created automatic redirect htm pages to shoot them over to the new Wordpress site. 

Dave,
 
My two cents...
 
  I think equipment lists are overrated.  I think they tend to expose weaknesses when comparing to "PRO" sites.  If you have all vintage equipment and are trying show that, then I think it is useful.  Otherwise I think it is filler.  Why does anyone that your are recording care whether you have sonar x64 vs x86?  Or a Studio Projects C1 vs MCA SP1? 
I don't really have a useful counter-suggestion, though.
 
I also like studio sites that show a nice comfortable recording space.  I don't know if that is part of your draw, but if it is, flaunt it.
 
Otherwise I think the site is fine.
 
On another note, I'm moving to the Melbourne area (from HI) Sold all my equipment, but kept my software.  Hopefully we can meet up some time.  Maybe try to get a Sonar or Reaper UG together.  Looks like brandon is nearer to the gulf, though.

Yeah Ken, Brandon would be a trip across the state.  I've had UG events at my studio and got a guy all the way up from West Palm Beach, IIRC.

Thanks for your input.

I considered what you had to say about equipment pages and you shared a lot of wisdom and I totally agree.  It took me a few weeks to find time to come up with something to say that was "me."  I've change changed the page to reflect that.

Cool Dave,
 
Selling yourself is much better than selling gear.  Looks good to me.
 
Getting settled into my new Florida home (sebastian).  Boy is it warm here.  But Air conditioning is MUCH cheaper. :)

It will take you a while to get used to the heat.  But air conditioning is always a good thing.  Can you imagine the first settlers down here?  No AC and the mosquitoes must have been fierce.

EDIT:  BTW, you are about a 2-1/2 drive across the state via State Rd 60 from Brandon.

I've heard that drier heat quote before.  That kind of heat makes your face feel like it's going to crack and fall off in pieces.  I think I prefer the sticky heat in Florida.  Actually, I don't like the heat period but I HATE cold even more.  Heat is uncomfortable.  Cold is painful.
