As you’ve probably noticed, updates have been a bit lacking as of late.\u00a0 That’s because lately I’ve been working more on tinkering the infrastructure and seeing what can be done to integrate a gallery solution to the already-existing blog based foundation I have here.\u00a0 The idea is to allow a series of photographs or artwork to be displayed in an organized and automatic fashion, rather than use a kludged-together solution of just linking to files manually within a post.
\nSo far, the solutions haven’t been easy ones.\u00a0 A number of plug-ins<\/a> are advertised for WordPress that claim to allow gallery integration. Most of them haven’t reached “version 1.0” stage, and with good reason: they just aren’t ready for prime time.\u00a0 Attempts to integrate each led me to dead ends, either because of poor documentation, serious bugs, or a combination of both.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, I’ve given up on a fully-integrated solution for now.\u00a0 Instead, I’ll have to resort to running a separate phpWebgallery<\/a> module, and then linking to the galleries as they are created.\u00a0 phpWebgallery seems to be pretty thorough, however, I’m not 100% familiar with it yet.\u00a0 So, some bugs still need to be worked out.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I do have a test gallery ready to go, and the subject is scaredpoet.com’s perennial mascot, Loki.\u00a0 Have a look!<\/a><\/p>\n
