Photos, Plugins, and Forums
Well, time for another site update. The functionality continues to improve as I find more and more useful plug-ins for use with WordPress. The most recent and most noticeable improvement is a plugin called Lightbox.
If you’ve ever been over to Instructables and clicked a photo on their site before, you have already seen the Lightbox effect. Rather than try to explain it to you, try clicking on the photo up above.
The only issue I have is that I can’t seem to get my photo blog plugin to play nicely with my lightbox install. I hope to get that worked out in the near future. Another nice new feature is the admission of a log in widget on the right hand column of the web site, which turns into a mini user links area once you’ve logged in. Also useful is the Online visitor widget that has been added right above that.
In other news, the future of the College-Now pages looks promising! There is a C-N introductory page up now, to help everyone get acquainted with College-Now and understand why I talk about it so much. If you are looking to get an account so you can upload a project, or if you are interesting in submitting well written, professional looking, technology oriented blog posts, please click register under the log in area to the right on the main page, or click here. For the rules and guidelines of project posts, click here.
I’m still working on the forums, this is proving to be more difficult than I would like. But the truth is, if things went smoothly all the time, I would get so bored.
