RESURRECT DEAD ON PLANET JUPiTER

Fingers Crossed

So it seems that I just sucessfully installed a plug-in that shows my recent photoblog posts in the sidebar column of my wordblog. The weird thing is, the whole process went absolutely flawlessly. I downloaded the plug-in, configured it, dropped the code in my template, activated it and there it is… doing exactly what it’s supposed to do. Sure it’s a simple plug-in, but these things usually take me and my limited skills hours of frustration to configure and place. Sweet.

*edit: Credit. Oops, I forgot to give credit where it’s due. All credit to the actual writing of the program goes to Raminia. I’d give further credit, name and such but his blog is in Persain and I can’t read Persian. Thanks Raminia, this plugin is exactly what I was looking for!

*edit 2: I’ve done away with the fade effect on the photoblog. I’ve been meaning to for a long time, but until I got sick and took the day off, haven’t gone ahead and done it. Why have I done it? A photo really shouldn’t have a distracting background. The photo should be the center of the viewer’s focus.

A lot of people choose a white background for their photoblogs. I choose black. White works best in the real world, but on a computer screen, white = a lot of energy being thrown at your eyes. White on a computer is more like a lightbulb, than it is a neutral slate. It takes no energy for the computer to display black. I consider black to be less distracting when viewing photos online. But that’s just my preference.

I’ve also added a link to my photo archives on both photo and word blog pages. Now you can browse by category. That’s all for now.
