So I have been doing a lot around here to really kick things up a notch. As of late I have made several minor updates and changes to the blog. Today was yet another day of progress in which I added another big element to my site, a photo gallery. As of now I have installed and started to tweak Plogger and added a subdomain gallery.axisds.com. Plogger is a great open source photo gallery that does just about everything you could want it to do and more. I then went ahead and installed two WordPress plugins to feed my Plogger gallery to WordPress. The first is a Plogger plugin that was created by Living Open Source. I found tuns of useful information there even though it was a bit on the advanced user side due to lack of more detailed descriptions. It also led me to the second plugin I installed called Light Box. Light Box basically just adds some cool viewing options that I find very useful for WordPress. Similar effects are in use at Digg.com with how they show YouTube videos and such. Anwyho, it is very late and I want some sleep so I am off to bed. I will continue to tweak it, make it fit my visual theme, and add more content so check back for the official v2.6 site release. As for now feel free to browse the current gallery at gallery.axisds.com and report back any bugs you might find.
