Updates

Done a lot of work on the CSS, HTML design and Javascript of the image gallery site. Various template layout's are here Image Gallery Templates. I'll upload some CSS/HTML links tomorrow.

At the moment I've the stripped the content of the site write back, eventually I want a minimalist gallery along the lines of this image Simple text, whitewashed "gallery" with a shadow effect.

I've also been using the scriptalicous Javascript library to add drag and drop effects. I've also installed the Lightbox2 plugin. All this can be seen on the working version of the image gallery Hopefully the CSS will decide it wants to work over the next few days.

I've installed the Flickr4J plugin which is a great tool for pulling in images from Flickr. I'm looking at some Flickr hacks that may be able to make better use of this feature, as a way of searching and finding images. I'm also considering if this is a way of replacing the Gallery section or maybe using the Flickr plugin as a way of showing development and progression of ideas. Not entirely show how that is going to work yet. Print this post
