almost up and running

i’ve finally updated my gallery. i downloaded this iPhoto plugin that lets me export photos directly into an album or create a new album and lets me resize them all and everything. it’s really neat and makes life a lot easier to upload photos. so hopefully this will allow me to keep everything up to date and i can upload photos as soon as i download them off my camera and whatnot. now people can stop bugging me for pictures and i can just direct them to this site!

i’m still trying to work out the kinks on the gallery page. i want a link that directs back to this main site. once you click on the link on the side bar to go to the gallery, there’s no link to come back. you have to use your browser’s back button to get here and it’s pretty annoying once you’re already in the gallery pages. i like the simplicity of the theme i’m using, but it just doesn’t have the functionality i want. like for instance, when you’re browsing through the photos, you can only go through page after page, you can’t select page 1 or page 24, you have to go through each page in sequence. i think i’ll just have to keep playing around with different themes until i get the right one.

and there’s no main index page to just edit the html or add a code myself. if there is, i can’t find it. it’s all based on modules and php, which i just don’t know much about. i spent a good amount of time reading about modules last night and realized that i should’ve been reading about creating themes. i really don’t want this to be more complicated than it has to be. i really want to just keep things simple.

but the good news is i’m almost done. we’ll see how things go. i might just scratch the whole design altogether. the important thing right now is just to get photos up and start blogging: check. and check.
