Copycat

August 7, 2005

Goaded, prompted, inspired by Dunstan Orchard’s recent photoset on Flickr (blogged earlier this morning) I decided to set to and scan a few pages from my own autograph book. They are here. But I’m still wondering whether a Flickr group is a good idea. Too nerdy? By the way, Neddie, if you’re reading this, I’ve [...]

Secure Orchard

August 7, 2005

For a Very Big Cheese in the world of web design and CSS, Dunstan Orchard is clearly not in the least bit insecure. His Flickr photostream of Things I Found While Tidying Up is a wonderful glimpse into his life. I’d considered something similar while moving here, but didn’t in the end have time. Now [...]

A fine weekend

July 18, 2005

It is not for me to judge perfection. But there are occasions that come pretty damn close, and last weekend was one of them. It all started with a call from my dear old friend Rob. I’ll summarize his rambling: “We have a spare ticket to Van the Man at Audley End. It’s yours if [...]

Photos

April 30, 2005

I’ve been spending a little time recently playing with and trying to organize my approach to putting my photos on the web. (Driven purely by ego.) I’ve now got two ways of doing this, three if you count the fact that I sometimes post one here. One is a photoblog, powered by PixelPost. The idea [...]

Didn’t work

March 28, 2005

Using the Flickr badge gizmo did not work. But I can create a link to the latest photo set reasonably easily. And with a little more work, a photo link to that set. Like this Now that’s another complicated process, as it stands. And if the bowser window is wide, or if I have not [...]

A new approach to photos

March 28, 2005

No idea whether this is going to work: probably not, as I don’t think it will look very good. But the basic idea is to use Flickr for sets of photographs, albums if you will, with links from here, and my photoblog for individual postings. Sometimes those postings will be photos from Flickr sets, sometimes [...]

Work in progress

March 24, 2005

I’ve spent a little time working on the photoblog, which you get to at the moment just by clicking on the thumbnail to the right. Driving it is a superb little package called PixelPost, which is just great for the simplest kind of photoblog. I’ve spent most of the evening getting into the way its [...]

Photoblog

March 11, 2005

A somewhat hectic day of toing and froing between the support forums for WordPress and PixelPost has enabled me to put a little picture at the top of my right-hand menu. Not just any picture, mind you, but the latest picture uploaded from my photoblog. Clicking on it takes you straight there. Kudos to Ramin [...]

Photo foibles

February 24, 2005

I had a little time to spare so I thought I would try to get to grips with the way WordPress handles photos. But despite my best efforts I’m really not much closer to a good, elegant and simple solution. PictPress seems to be just too complicated. And things have moved on since I last [...]
