Major Website Upgrade This Weekend

Change comes to us all, and this web­site is no dif­fer­ent. Over the next cou­ple of days I will be giv­ing the entire site a refresh which should (if I am very care­ful and lucky :-) ):

  • Pre­serve all my blog con­tent, includ­ing com­ments, perma­links, stats, etc.
  • Make it eas­ier to add new con­tent, includ­ing new full screen galleries
  • Have a more refined, pro­fes­sional look and feel
  • Fully sup­port brows­ing on iPhone, iPad, etc.
  • Bit a lit­tle slicker, and more up2date behind the curtain

While there will be some down­time (I unfor­tu­nately can’t afford mir­rored real time sys­tems), hope­fully it won’t be too painful. When all is said and done, I will try an write up my tips for set­ting up your own pho­tog­ra­phy website.

  2. Log into word­press, and man­age media
  3. Upload new images, and dig around on your hard disk to find them
  4. Cre­ate a new blog post, or page, or what­ever, and then attach the images to them
  5. Profit?

If this sounds like you, then you absolutely need this Adobe Light­room Export plu­gin from Luc Renam­bot called “Dossier De Presse”. Read on for more details and a sam­ple gallery.

Building A Solid Foundation For Your WordPress Blog

Foundation Building!

Build­ing foun­da­tions — the hard way!

When I started this blog, the web was alight with talk of Word­Press, Blog­ger, and other “blog­ging plat­forms”. I even­tu­ally chose Word­Press as I was blown away by all the var­ied and artis­tic themes that were avail­able for it. Also Word­Press is extremely extend­able through plu­g­ins for embed­ding YouTube movies, photo’s from Flickr and a host of other things. Before you even start blog­ging, it is impor­tant to build a solid foun­da­tion for your Word­Press Blog. Here are 11 plu­g­ins to help with that…
