Gallery updates
I have been revamping my galleries a bit. I tried switching to an entirely different gallery management system, but the only one whose interface I really liked was geared a lot more toward photographers, and I didn't need to store a bunch of information like focal length, lighting, and all that. It would've been a pain to get the code to do what I wanted.
Anyway, here are the changes…
Done
- I've upgraded to the latest version of Slooze and gotten my customizations working with it.
- Several more pictures were added to the 2003 gallery
- I added 2004 and 2005 galleries
- The newer galleries have larger thumbnails.
- I've figured out how to get the topics to sort properly
- I've begun filling in the data fields for the older galleries (I've done up to mid-1999, plus some of the recent galleries and a few scattered pictures here and there). These all used to be filled in, but my database got corrupted a long time ago, and I never finished recreating the entries.
To-do
- I still need to work on the stylesheet and HTML to make it prettier and more integrated into the rest of the site.
- I am not done adding pictures, even to galleries several years old. That's what happens when you have as much data to keep track of as I do.
- The portfolio gallery doesn't have a lot of the entries I would put there.
