Finally getting some work done on this site. I’m going to stick with WordPress and simply add plugins, hacks, and theme alterations until it’s what I want. I found a very simple looking but very effective theme. I’ll make some changes and probably add a little bit of artwork to it.
I also finally found just the kind of gallery plugin I’ve been looking for. Online gallery software comes in basically two flavors — barebones and bloated. I don’t need slideshows, I don’t need online postcards, I don’t need rating systems and I don’t need 200 configuration options. What I do need is something that lets me easily add new images and (this is real important) something that can simply be integrated with the rest of my site. I believe I’ve found what I need in d13gallery. So, thank you also to its developer. Again, I’ll tweak it a bit, but it’s also very simple and very effective.
So. Yeah. Look for the actual site to be up sometime soon.

Hi there, just stumbled across your site and wanted to say thanks for the kind comments about d13gallery. I too had the same problem using WordPress – I just wanted a simple gallery and that’s what led me to build my own. It’s a shame I can’t dedicate more time to it to get it 2.0.2 compatible, maybe one day. Thanks again, Dave.
