Trying out some new software
As you can see the site has changed quite a bit in the last few days. I’ve added quite a bit of stuff, like the left hand sidebar that shows the most recents posts on the blog, a category listing of the different posts, a calendar to see the current months post, a search and RSS feeds.
I have also worked with CSS to enable little treatments on the site like the dotted underlinging of links and changing color when you hover over them. Now, I am finally getting my photos online using an application I found today called Galerie. If you use iPhoto for your images and want to post them on the Web, this application is the best I’ve seen anywhere.
It was incredible simple to use and has more user-configurable features than any other plug-in or application — best of all, it’s free.
To make an album, just start the application — it launches iPhoto for you — and choose the iPhoto album that you want to use. Then it’s just a matter of changing the size of the images and thumbnails and Galerie looks after everything else for you. I tried to use the built-in upload feature, but I didn’t have any luck with that. No matter, I just uploaded them directly into the ftp and everything works.
I wish it had a feature to make an index page, but I can do one of those too. This is a damn cool application!
Update: Seems I made a mistake about the application’s ability to produce an index page of all the albums. I updated the blog.
