Take two

Okay, I’m trying this thing again. AGAIN, I said! Let’s see if we can’t keep it up this time. My GAWD, there is so much that goes on in my life that you people need to know about. I’m sure of it…Umm yeah anyway so I’m checking out the internets a while back like I like to do, when I read that Wordpress 2.5 has just been released. And with fancy new gallery features no less. So I decide that if I can import my photos into wordpress itself using the new gallery feature, then I won’t have to keep an install of wordpress and gallery2 up to date. Nor will I have to fiddle with making themes for both of them work together every time I update them both.

And that’s exactly what I did. I installed wordpress 2.5, found me a new theme, and spent a week or so tweaking it to my liking and making it work nice with the gallery feature. Strangely, this ‘exciting new feature’ does not actually have too many options just yet and the ones it does have are not well documented. So it took a few days to get the galleries looking like I wanted them to in my new theme.

But now the work is done. Wordpress updated, theme galleryized, and photos imported from the old gallery2 database. Now all of my content is in one handy dandy place. Enjoy!

Oh, and I may even post some new content/photos soon. See above paragraph re: trying this again. Thanks to my one surviving faithful reader. I couldn’t have had the strength to go on without you…(psst, it’s me).
