Tried to get a photo gallery application embedded in WordPress but was not quite able to do so as seamlessly as I hoped. The link is in the top navbar. The best I could do was to hack some of the templates, and lose the blog header when the gallery is deployed. There’s a breadcrumb navigation that brings you back to the blog. It’s not quite what I wanted. Some kind of trouble with the path info to display the pictures. I like the gallery, though. Just wish I could keep the site design consistent. The layout is so simple I shouldn’t have too much difficulty. Just ran out of time this go-’round.

I’m gone again for a few days. Now I’ve got a place to put some pictures, I have to remember to bring the camera.

Update 7/28/05: The photo gallery that I am trying to set up with this blog is really an exercise that I’m doing to see if I can embed Singapore into WordPress. The reason for this is that I’m building a site for my wife who is an artist, and wants an internet presence for her work. We want to do more than just display the work, though. (Like sell it… : ) So I am exploring ways to integrate her work into a more complex website than a simple photo gallery. Getting the gallery software to run as a part of the blog may be outside my technical limits, though. I’ve torn the whole thing out for now, and am going to give one more serious effort to running it as a part of Borderland before I call it quits here and try to create a site around Amy’’s gallery. The problem right now is that I worked on this before I went on vacation. I modified some files. I can’t remember which ones now, though. So I am getting some very strange results. Let the head-scratching and talking to the computer monitor resume!

If anyone who follows the link to Amy’s site wants to leave a comment here about it, I’m curious to know how the images render on different browsers.
