Site Upgrade

April 15th, 2008 by carlton

The site has now been upgraded to Wordpress 2.5 and the plugins have been revamped.  Unfortunately, I had modified a lot of the plugins I used.  I have created new widgets that integrate with the products I use, so that if they release a new version, I will hopefully not loose any functionality.  One of the biggest things I wanted to get working was the post category section.  In Wordpress 2.3 they changed the category structure.

The biggest change however, is the removal of Gallery2 and shift to Flickr.  I evaluated both Flickr and Smugmug and decided Flickr was a better choice.  Flickr’s unlimited account cost less and has more integration options.  I have tried to make it easy for you to find the pictures I have been uploading.  Yes, I am going to go back through time and upload ALL of my old photos.  Hopefully everyone can view the site.

I’m sorry if you work for the government and can’t view the site.  I am investigating options that will allow you to be able to view my pictures by utilizing the bandwidth available on this site.

While the Gallery2 plugin has been removed, the old gallery is still accessible for the time being.  It can be accessed at http://www.thecolters.com/gallery2

Thanks!
