Migrating from PixelPost to WordPress

thumb_pixelpost_to_wordpress_exporter

I’ve decided that I’m going to migrate my photoblog away from PixelPost and onto WordPress. I use WP for my this blog and my portfolio and have got comfortable using it. It also has excellent customisability and solid support and isn’t likely to lose that any time soon. The same sadly can’t be said of [...]

it’s tinker time

I like to mess about with my websites – gives me something to do during the holidays/days off other than watching TV, drinking beer at 11am or arguing with idiots on Eurogamer. :) This week I’ve latched onto a lovely new theme called ‘The World in 35mm‘ for Pixelpost. It’s working nice over at The [...]


…and we’re back!

Further to yesterday’s unpleasant discovery that something in my back end was b0rked, I went ahead and upgraded all the Pixelpost files to the latest version and that appears to have fixed it. Who knows what I did… I hope your Christmas week is going nicely. I’m off to do some food shopping and to [...]


we’ll be back shortly…

Apparently this image to the left is all anyone’s seen of my blog for almost a week now, but seeing as I haven’t updated it in almost a month, I had no idea. I was tinkering with it last week and took it all offline deliberately for a couple of days, but I thought I’d [...]


ten great photography blogs

I’ve tried to cut down on the amount of stat-checking since my crisis of confidence a couple of months ago, but I do still sneak a look more often than I should, and I keep seeing links from a site called Blogtrepreneur. I’ve always assumed it was just one of those photoblog aggregate sites like [...]


fotomoto: prints and e-cards made e-asy (and 50% cheaper!)

A few photoblogs I visit, such as Daily Dose of Imagery and Chromasia, have recently added the Fotomoto toolbar to their front page and seeing as it’s pretty damn good, so have I. It’s currently free and requires nothing but plopping the Javascript into the HTML code for your photoblog installation. There’s also a little [...]


OMG! iPhone gallery updated!

picture-3.png

I wasn’t completely happy with the iPhone gallery I started a few weeks ago. Two reasons really – wasn’t aesthetically pleasing any more, and had an annoying (none-existent) content management system that meant I had to re-upload the whole gallery every time I wanted to change one picture. I changed over to the latest version [...]


error!

Haven’t done much in the way of photography recently, but I have been tinkering with my site again! I put a lot of the code for my websites together myself, either by pinching bits from other places and reverse engineering it to learn how it works and fit it to my own design, or editing [...]
