Image Browsing
Warning: Mild web geekery included in this post!
I’ve just upgraded the ‘engine’ behind this site to Wordpress 2.7, it was a smooth and relatively simple process. The benefits are largely for me, the site is more secure and easier to manage but there’s one thing that 2.7 brings that you may be interested in.
The gallery plugin I use is called NextGen Gallery by a very clever man called Alex Rabe. With the release of Wordpress 2.7 he’s released NextGen Gallery version 1 and with version 1 comes support for PicLens!…
Piclens? What? If you’ve not discovered it already I’d say have a look, it allows you to browse photos from supported sites like Flickr, Facebook and Picasa web galleries (and mine too!) in a seamless 3D wall that you can scroll with your mouse, no more clicking ‘next, next…’. Seriously, download it for your browser and check it out; for large photo collections it’s amazing!
Cheers
