One of the Things I’m Longing To Do In 2008 was to upgrade my portfolio site. There’d been a security breach, and the Pixelpost pages were looking tired anyway, so I scrapped the whole install, just putting on the gallery of Swing Bridge photos from the Port of Tyne competition.
So the screen capture above is the result of half a day’s work generally trying new things and not liking them much, and finally going back to Wordpress again, which makes life simpler, although I’m really not sure how it will configure without a gallery plugin or somesuch. The intention is to use the Adobe Flash Lightroom gallery facility to make most of the content, though. If a photograph has no url, it is impossible to steal apart from screen capturing. And they look good, clean and simple
Please nip over and see if you like it. I’m not 100% convinced, but we’ll know more when there’s more stuff on there to play around with. If you can break anything, or make suggestions about improvements, I’d be very glad to hear about it. You’d also be road testing the tracker, which has been dormant for a couple of months now, so if you’re one of the regulars here, I’ll know, and be able to buy you a grateful pint.
Focus on Imaging tomorrow, in sunny Solihull. Hooray (I think).

That looks nice.
I really like the Lightroom flash galleries (and the rest of Lightroom for that matter). I’ve got a licence for SlideShow Pro for Lightroom and intend to use that at some point. At the end of the day it’s just another slideshow option for Lightroom, but it looks really nice and tweakable!
Yes, I’ve got the same, and it’s waiting patiently until I’ve got more time to generally faff around. SS Pro is so heavily customisable that I find it daunting, and always therefore tend to go back to the templates within LR itself.
I’m not sure about the Upstart template. It’s one of those things that might get better as it’s used: lots of these templates really look so empty. It’s too text-heavy though. I’m definitely going to edit out some of the overblown meta-bleh from underneath the posts.
