Moving the web site from RapidWeaver to WordPress is going pretty well, and there are some pretty cool plugins available so I have been able to add a little more functionality to certain area”s. There are still a couple of area”s that are in need of work however. The photo gallery plugin I am using that pulls in photo”s from Flickr seems a little flakey. The random photo”s in the side bar is a good touch, but the master album isn”t particularly good and clicking through to see the whole album just seems to return a blank page, so I am going to have to revisit this as I know that this is one of the most popular area”s of the site. In the meantime however my photo”s are slowly uploading to Flickr and you can check them out directly here http://www.flickr.com/photos/markdalton/.
Another area that I need to work on is the movie gallery. I have my personal video”s on YouTube and need a plugin that allows me to pull those in and display them. If anybody knows of a good one, let me know.
Otherwise if you want to check them out on the old RapidWeaver site, its still available here.
[UPDATE] Okay I have found a new plugin that seems to do a much better job, but it needs some permissions adjusted on the web server. I have a ticket logged with my web host and once they have made the required changes I will activate the new plugin.
