Pictorialis II

Sunday, June 20th 2004

I'm working on replacing Gallery on my site. Mostly because of the way Gallery constructs the albums, it is nearly impossible to fit it into this site in a way I like, and for this site, at least, I'd like to get everything W3C compliant. It's not there yet, but I'm working on it. I like gallery and will probably use it on other sites. But it's not what I want for this site.
So I'm going with PictorialisII by Mark Ghosh. The reasons for this are:

• It's built on WordPress, which I've been messing with, so I've got a better grasp of the code than I do with anything else.
• I talk to Mark regularly on #WordPress on IRC, so when I have a problem, or a suggestion, I can get help with it.
• It seems to do the job

It's now linked to the right under "Photos" where "Gallery" used to be. Until I get all of the pictures moved, Gallery will still be at its old URI. I've still got some things I need to do with Pictorialis before I consider it done.

• Update the photo section on the Blog page to work with Pictorialis
• Use album names in permalinks
• Function to re-generate thumbnails? (some of the random thumbnails are a bit ugly)
• Captions for individual photos

But on the whole, I'm very happy with it.
