I just read over some of my oldest posts, and found this gem. While I stand by it still, the code is unreadable, and using some class names that will not be relevant to your project. Mayhaps a better approach would be to create a class to implement in pages where needed.
Again, this is really only needed when time is at a premium and you have legacy javascript that accesses page elements by ID that will be mangled by master pages.
Obviously, the best course of action is always to use the coding tools you have and not hack around them. Sometimes, that is not an option. That was the situation I was in when I wrote those posts. Shakespeare’s gotta get paid, son.
Pixelpost is a cool gallery system that cuts out all the extra crap. It is just your pics with back and forward buttons.
You can see my current pixelpost install @ http://pixelpost.forrestledbetter.com.
Zenphoto sounds promising as well. We shall see…I have tons of pics that need to be posted. If I can ever get a minute to breathe, I’ll sit down and figure out which is best for my needs.
One gripe about pixelpost: I have found that even though changing skins is quick and painless, sometimes it just completely forgets how to manage CSS.
I downloaded a bunch of different templates/skins, and was switching back and forth to see which I liked the best, and quite often it would end up without formatting of any kind. Not having the time to troubleshoot, my only option was to reinstall and hope for the best.
It is still in early stages of development, so I don’t mean to knock this awesome software, but in the interest of objectivity, I thought I would share.
My post on Firefox is severely out of date. The only one of the plugins I listed in that post that I still use is Webdeveloper. I have a few to add to the list as well:
