I have created an “Events” page to hold all my photosets of events that I cover, utilizing the Photo Gallery feature of WordPress 2.5.
The first event is an all-inclusive party I attended last night in Runaway Bay, St. Ann promoted by Unleashed Entertainment of which my sister is a member. It was called “Reggae Luau” and as the name suggests, it was Hawaiian themed. It was a wild, wild party as the photos show. Visit the Events page here or view the Reggae Luau photos here.

Here are the latest additions to my Gallery. Photos were posted from Add Media —-NextGen instead of using WordPress 2.5 photo Gallery: Add Media—-Gallery. WordPress 2.5 Photo Gallery does a better job with spacing of the thumbnails and with nextgen, photos have to be added one by one.

While trying to solve my nextgen problem (re: the previous post), I saw several options for embedding photo galleries in WordPress and was pleasantly surprised with the photo gallery feature that comes with WordPress 2.5. It can be quite handy to post multiple photos to a blog without taking up as much space as I now use. Large thumbnails can be used for display and clicking will reveal the larger size. I am putting this feature to the test with some images I uploaded to the gallery.
Looks quite attractive! Using a gallery for posts is definitely the way to go. At least it will ensure that the page loads in a shorter time. The major ommisson: no “Previous” or “Next” button.

Got this line of coding above the photo when I clicked on the thumbnail and opened up the medium size:
“s // This lets us style narrow icons speciall”
In addition, after clicking on the medium size and getting the large, clicking on the large to go back to medium sometimes brought up a small white box in the top left of the browser. It maybe theme related but a definite no-no for me.
Follow Up 2:
I tried inserting images from nextgen gallery into the post and got the same white box error above. After troubleshooting, I found out Snap Shot was causing a conflict which was resolved by removing Snap Shot. The script output however, still remains.

Going through some old CD Backups, I found some images I took at the Jazz and Blues Festival in Montego Bay, Jamaica on January 15th, 2004. Among them were some of Alicia Keys performing. They were taken with a Canon Powershot G3.
It was just in time for me to test out some Lightroom presets I downloaded. These presets proved very handy as they drastically reduced the time I took to process the images. After using each, I only had to make minor adjustments. These are just a few of the sites from which you may download presets:
85 presets from ONe On ONe Software
Inside Lightroom
Free Lightroom Presets and where to find them
To install, simply go to Develope Module, find the User Presets subfolder; right click and select Import then navigate to the presets folder and choose presets.
The 85 Presets from One On One Software are self-installing, just click on the .exe file.
The full Alicia Keys set can be viewed here
