That’s right, I’ve finally updated the site after more than 2 years of inactivity! I also have a new, more memorable URL –
www.imagesofeden.co.uk!
I learned from my mistakes with the previous site, which was completely statically coded making updates & changes very time-consuming, building the new site on
WordPress with the
Yet Another PhotoBlog (YAPB) plugin & the YAPB-specific theme
Phloggin’. I’ll be adjusting & tweaking things for a while to come yet, so don’t be surprised if the appearance changes or if things are still broken – (in fact, considering
letting me know if you come across anything that doesn’t work? Feedback on the site design is of course welcome.
This new implementation not only makes updating & altering much quicker & easier, but also adds a host of new features such as categories, tags, comments, RSS feeds & more. Layout is 960 pixels wide, which should be fine even for dinky netbooks with their 1024×600 screens.
With this month heralding my 21st birthday I will soon be the proud owner of a
Pentax K20D, a 14.6 megapixel digital SLR that is compatible with all of my existing Pentax film lenses. I will be shifting over to digital for the majority of my photos, mainly for how better suited it is to the Internet-centric lifestyle that I live, however I will still be shooting film on occasion & digitizing negatives with my
Epson Perfection V200.
I have some 50-60 rolls to scan & archive, so updates of old film shots will intersperse the new digital ones for quite a while to come yet. I’ll also be re-digitizing all of the film shots from the old site, as they were done using a far inferior scanner & aren’t of archive quality.
I’ll be updating on a wider range of subjects, but they’ll all be nicely categorized, so you can ignore what you’re not interested in. Updates will hopefully be on a much more frequent basis too!
