Picture Editing

I spent some time working on the website. One of the things that you might have noticed is that the font is a bit bigger. I did not believe that the old font size was really all that readable if you have a larger monitor and use a high resolution. I also got some help adjusting some images and made the page about 100 pixels wider to accommodate not only the larger font, but pictures with frames around them. I really think that the pictures stand out now and look neater. I also spent time resizing all the images for thumbnails on the picture pages, because they weren’t loading all that well. I knew that the images were retaining their original size, but for some reason I never remembered long enough to correct that problem.

There are some more changes that I want to make to this theme, but for now I’m quite happy with how it looks. The other changes I plan to make is either removing or at least reducing the size of the orange bar that appears underneath images when you hover your mouse over them, and I would also like to get an image, instead of the current word art, for the title of this website.

I got Shozu to work with my ftp site, so now I can upload pictures when I take them with my phone directly to the ftp, which should make it far more convenient to post pictures that I take on a daily basis of things I see around town.

Adding Pictures to Flickr

I need to add pictures to flickr for them to show up in the new little widget I have here, so what I needed was an easy to way to get pictures off my phone and on to flickr.  I went to the same place I always go when I have questions about what is and is not possible concerning my phone and that is Krhainos.

He let me know that there is a really simple application that sends my pictures to flickr with relative ease. I can pick pictures off of my phone or send them as soon as I take them. This program is Shozu. Now I can take pictures of the places I go and the things I see and you can all see them as well. I think that’s really cool.

I know Agent2690’s blog is made up almost entirely of pictures with very little, to no actual typing. I always sorted of wanted that reversed for my own blog. Now with a pictures section and this widget I think I’m getting close to that reality.
