It's been awhile on the gallery

I'm still thinking about photo galleries, sad. I realized that I'm not in the position to learn enough to make something from scratch, but I think I found a javascript viewer that I like. The TripTracker Slideshow is like lightbox, but it has navigation to play a slideshow with the Ken Burn's effect. I only with it panned both ways, I feel a little dizzy after watching it for a long while.

I put together a Picasa HTML template, well two actually, and I made a new section of mustard.net for projects. One makes regular pretty web pages and the other makes output to copy-paste into Rapidweaver.

I was quite pleased with my nerdiness working around Picasa's HTML export limitations, actually. I got the thumbnails into cute squares using just CSS by following an article on clipping written by Mojo on Seifi.org. I don't know who Mojo is, but I appreciate his article on clipping. I also added the necessary javascript onclick attributes dynamically because the slideshow viewer requires an index number to tell it which full-size image goes with which thumbnail but I couldn't get Picasa to provide an index number. I actually probably did something unethical here by adding my javascript to the body of my HTML, but it works . . .

Well, I'll post my efforts for anybody who reads my site to use which is all of nobody soon.
