The Photos page was an instance of Gallery I originally installed 20 years ago. I was never quite happy with the way it was presented. The last update I made was maybe 10 years ago, moving it out of Gallery and using the database tables to drive something hand-rolled. Yesterday I was able to remove those pages and use a new, custom template in WordPress and script the import of these galleries. I like the control WordPress offers. It’s a work in progress.
I find it fun to revisit work I had forgotten.
I’m pretty pleased with my switch from blog-first landing page to something custom. I had fun creating a WordPress plugin to facilitate creation of those 9×9 grid images. The source is on GitHub: Aggregate Thumbnail Images.
I’m am pleased that James is pleased with the results.
I started a page today: Amiga: computing memories… but I think it’s not quite done. There are so many memories and lessons from how I used the Amiga I’m not sure I can encompass it in a single page.
That’s all for today. Have a great day!
