Minor updates

Posted by on September 27th 2007 in Photo hosting, Site update

There's not much outdoorsy stuff to report, so I'm spending some time gradually replacing all of the Zooomr pics with Zoto pics. It's a time-consuming job editing all of the posts that contain pics that need changing, and then editing all of the hyperlinks in the blog-texts, but it means that I will soon be able to delete all of my pics on Zooomr and then close my account.

Overwhelming support for HTML albums

Posted by on September 25th 2007 in Photo hosting, Site update

Due to the unprecedented response to the casual reader-poll in my previous post, I've decided to eschew the Flash album option and stick with the HTML versions.

Thanks to all that expressed their opinion.

(That'll be you, Geoff. Nobody else could be arsed.)

Crisis, what crisis? Now I have a dilemma!

Those nice peeps over at Zoto have fixed the album-viewing / slideshow-playing problem. Their support team are to be commended for their quick response and exemplary communication.

So, now I'm left with a straight choice... stay with the html slideshows, or convert them to Flash.

Any preference, folks?

Blogroll – new link added

I've just been spending some more time looking through Neil Sheridan's blog. It's his account of his bid to go up all of the Wainwright Fells in one year. He's got some cracking pics to go with his reports. Following is a screenshot - I've linked it to his site, so if you want a look-see, just click the pic and his site will open in a new window.  

I see no ships…

Just in case you're wondering where all the piratical madness went, I should just point out that the plugin only kicks in for the 19th of September. Mind you, I might hack the code so that in the future it starts a day or so in advance, just so that we can get into the right mood in good time.

Blog like a Pirate!
