I decided on ZenPhoto for my picture album. The only problem is intergrating it into WordPress so that it has the same look and feel. I tried the advice written here, but it doesn’t work as nicely as I had hoped. I’m working on tweaking the coding around to make it work better. I should be done soon, and then i’ll upload pics, including the latest ones from Vegas.
I love open source software. Its saving me so much time and the quality of these software is top notch. Kudos to all the open source programmers out there.
For this site, I’ve been looking for a good gallery program that I can integrate into WordPress. There were a lot of choices, but many of them didn’t meet my needs. Either they were too bloated with useless features, or overly simplistic. I came across two that I like: ZenPhoto and Plogger. I’ve tried both of them out and I’m leaning towards Plogger. Now the only thing left is integrating it with WordPress.
I’ve also been working on a group blog for my friends and myself. I’m trying set up a blog by email for that site to simplify posting. I love the plugins available for WordPress that lets you do this. I’m still trying to figure out what’s best, and I have to figure out stuff like Cron jobs, which I never dealt with before. If anyone has any tips, let me know.
I just got back from bachelor party at Las Vegas, and I had a great time. Of course we did the regular bachelor events, which I can’t talk about for obvious reasons. Other than that, we just checked out casinos because let’s face it, there is not much else to do there. We didn’t have time for a show or anything else with out limited time there. Oh well. maybee next time.
One thing I will definitely not miss is the heat there. The temperatures were so hot that it gave me chills from heat exhaustion. The man that invented air conditioning is a genius.
We took some nice pics there and I hope to have them up shortly. Still need to figure out how to set up an online picture album so once that’s done, I’ll add the pics.
My first blog post.
I finally got some hosting space and put up a website so people would stop asking me, “what happened to your website and your online photo album?” Since I don’t have too much time to code, i’m going to use WordPress, and other open source software to create and maintain my website.
I know the site’s not much now, but I’ll be working on adding photo albums to share with all my friends soon.
