Up and Running

Gerry| 23 July 2008 7:36 pm

Well, the new blog and gallery are up and running. I’ve probably spent four or five days of effort during the last three weeks getting Wordpress and Gallery2 to play well together. The trick has been the WPG2 plug-in and the vSlider3 themes. They’re not quite perfect, but they give the site a level of integration that would have taken me weeks to figure out.

I Had to Make it Hard

Gerry| 6 July 2008 10:25 pm

I installed Wordpress about two years ago and did almost nothing with it. Now, here I am trying to make another start at blogging. I can’t count the number of times I’ve had an idea I wanted to write about, only to forget about it when I later sat down at the computer or to push it aside to do something else.

Somewhere along the way, I also got more than a little ambitious and decided I wanted my blog to integrate into the rest of my website. And then I wanted it to integrate with my image gallery. And, of course, that ambition led to procrastination.

Well, today (Sunday) I was having trouble sleeping past 6:00 a.m., so I finally acted on the ambition. I installed Gallery2 for the images and then upgraded Wordpress. I then installed WPG2 to tie them together. The result so far is less than perfect, but it’s a start.

I guess it’s time to do the Nike thing and just do it.
