Few steps forward… few steps back.
Let’s review, list from a while back \ and updates:
1.) Get a decent theme for WP.
Done. I thought. I found a cool theme. Installed it… tweaked the mess out of it… and I like it… but… according to here it sucks. So, I may be looking for a new one soon. I think I am going to live with this one for now, and move on. I will re-visit this after the rest is done.
2.) Customize the theme with my localhub branding…
Done.
3.) Integrate WP and my smugmug site using widgets and plugins available.
Done. To the best that I can for now. I am using WP-Smugmug and SmugWP. One of them lets me embed images into my sidebar. Which I tweaked to cache the large images locally with the thumbnails, and the thumbnails now link to the locally cached large image instead of the image in Smugmug. This helps me keep my smugmug site a SmugIsland.
4.) Tag all 4,000+ of my photos in smugmug with keywords so they can be searched.
Well.. I started… I have finished about 1/10 of them.
5.) Start harassing my developer to finish my other project in the works, cooptree.com
Done. For now. He states he will start\finish the week of Thanksgiving.
So, for the two of you who are actually somewhat skimming my blog, how am I doing? let me know…
