Another new design for SessionsWest.com. I was digging for inspiration for this site, when Jeff called me from San Deigo last week right before he was about to go surfing. The color sheme is known as 'Morning surf,' and I built a custom flash player inspired by the album cover from the Fever Sessions. This new buildout has been my most complex drupal site to date. I embedded a photo gallery, and the mp3 player I mentioned earlier. I used drupal's front page module to give the home page a real clean, simple entry to the site. All in all it doesn't get much more simple, but I think thats what I like about it , and it reflects Jeff's style to the tee.

So digg and reddit have both posted on the work of Stu Nichols and his pure CSS photo gallery. Check it out: here. I'm anxious to try it out. I'd like to find a way to blend this image gallery with a liquid three column layout, but the gallery is fixed - so it may have to be implemented on an internal page. Although, it would be interesting to have this image gallery present on a home page - since before the hover it only takes up the room of a horizontal menu. I'll be exploring this idea further - stay tuned.

Check out this ajax photogallery: minishowcase. It's lightweight, easy to customize, and a piece of cake to get up an running in no time. I removed the enormous Gallery2 from my server and replaced it with minishowcase. I lost the theming of Gallery 2, but minishowcase theming is on the way, and it wouldn't take much to create your own from scratch. Download also included easy to customize .css file.

For now it is fully functional in its own page here, but I will intgrate it as time permits.

I installed and configured the gallery2 plug-in today for Wordpress 2.0. I used the classic gallery 2 theme with the zen minimalist wordpress theme. There were a few tricks to get things working.

First of all, you need to have url paths turned off in order for gallery to show images inside the wordpress theme.
Also it may be necessary to set a minimum size for pictures to prevent a larger picture from breaking your page....obviously depending on the template that you use. Feel free to email me for help.
