Some site tweaks

Posted by on June 27, 2008

Me and Tamara were having a conversation not that long ago about Bobsroom and she mentioned how when she clicks on a photo link here, she didn’t like the fact that it redirected you to a Facebook gallery. I was telling her that it was a little easier to maintain the photos in one spot. Since I put a lot of stuff on Facebook, it seemed a little redundant to put them here too. Why not post it in one spot and link to it? Makes sense right?

Well, I started thinking about it and then I clicked on one of the photo links and noticed it was broken. In fact, I think all of the photo links weren’t working. At some point, Facebook changed all the public URL’s for my galleries, effectively breaking all my links. So, I started looking for something that I could use to manage the photos easily on my site. Sure enough, I found something that works BEAUTIFULLY.

So, despite the fact that I’ll have to upload to more than one place, I think I do prefer the idea of having my photos on my own site, so that I have complete control over them. I’ll still post pictures to FB, but I’ll keep all my stuff here as well.

That having been said, you can check out the two galleries I have by clicking here and here. I think the gallery plugin works pretty good 🙂
