| Happy New Year! Well, 2012 has begun with a bang. Shortly after noon on January 2 all my Gallery 2 data was trashed unexpectedly. Now, this is either hackers, or someone doing something on my hosted web service site, or some unseen glitch in the Gallery 2 software. This must be a sign [...] MiniSlideShow is an interesting Flash plugin to display Gallery2 images on your website. One problem with this slide show is that generating an RSS feed takes time. The generation delay impacts the start of the slideshow, particularly if the slideshow is included as a sidebar block on every Gallery page or embedded application page. This can be particularly noticable if the feed contains many images. Each display of a new page results is a new invokation of the slideshow and this results in a new initialization of the RSS feed. One way to mitigate the feed generation performance loss is to cache the generated RSS feed XML text. [...] Slimbox 2 is a lightweight jQuery implementation of the famous Lightbox 2 script that is often used to overlay images on a web page. Slimbox 2 is being used on Kisekae World. It is possible to extend and modify the Slimbox script to automatically show all images in a set much like a slideshow. [...] Feedjit is a useful add-on to a website for tracking visitors to your blog. Feedjit shows a little snapshot of when and where each visitor to your site came from. One can easily see visitors from around the world.

This introduces the idea of user specific customization [...] When Gallery2 is embedded in Wordpress there is no standard capability to generate page meta descriptions and keyword tags for individual Gallery2 albums or photos. The WPG2 plugin creates one Wordpress page, the Gallery2 page, in which all Gallery2 content is rendered. Unfortunately, meta tags are often used by search engines to index and identify your site. Without the capability to uniquely tag individual Gallery2 pages your photo galleries may not be indexed. [...] To modify your Gallery2 theme to effect a mouse over indicator to all images that have anchors or hyperlinks, you need to insert a few lines into your theme CSS file. [...] Altahualpa 'next' and 'previous' post navigation entries are global across all site postings. When we are looking at postings by category we would like to our 'next' and 'previous' navigation links to show only postings within the category. [...] There is a problem with Atahualpa custom excertps not being processed correctly in category lists or other places where the post excerpt is displayed. Note, this problem exists in Atahualpa version 3.4. [...] WordPress themes, including Atahualpa, typically show only a text link in the post footer that the user must click to enter a comment. This does not encourage immediate user comment entry after viewing the post. The comment entry screen can be displayed after a post if the the WordPress comments-template is invoked in the Loop.
