nifty…

Monday, November 22, 2004

I think the image gallery in EE is nifty.  I still have to tweak the look of it, right now it’s the default template, but there are several images there now.  Some of them I moved from my MT photoblog, which, because I hadn’t set it up to send me an email whenever someone commented there, I hadn’t realized that it was being spammed.  Heh.

Anyway, I also added about 56 photos (the ones that weren’t blurred) from our tour of Kartchner Caverns.  Those are just the ones from my own camera.  Not sure where the ones Josh took are.  Probably still on the memory card.

A link to the gallery is over on the right, under my “About” section.  “Niki’s Photoblog”.  The name of the link is the same, but it now points to the EE gallery.

I really like the batch entries option in the gallery.  All I had to do was upload the lot from Kartchner via an FTP client into the batch folder, EE sees them in the folder and begins the entry submissions.  You name the title (change it, rather, since it comes up as the name of the photo), put in a caption, select the category for the picture, and hit “submit”.  Then it publishes that entry, and automatically goes to the next photo.  And so on & so forth until all of the images in the batch have been submitted as an entry.  Much easier than going one by one via “new entry”, as with that option you have to pick the file to upload, upload it via EE, then do the entry stuff.

All in all, though, it’s pretty cool.
Now to go figure out how I want to change the layout for that page…
