One More Change
After I added Links and the heading for my Weather Pixie I decided I wanted to add a Random Gallery Photo. So I look around, starting with Andy’s blog, to see if I could figure it out. I ended up grabbing the source code from Andy’s blog. And then I tweeked it a bit to fit with the source code for my blog. This resulted in the title for the random images being there, but no images. I wasn’t really sure why this was happening.
And then Andy got home from Texas and hopped online.
I chatted with Andy for a bit about what I was trying to do, eventually sending him the code. He pointed out that I had put “.com” where I should have put “.org” I fixed that and then there were images. Then it was just a matter of figuring the width and height settings that would work without looking silly and without cutting off the caption and album title. I have that pretty much figured out, although the settings might not work for a vertical picture with a long caption. . . I’ll just have to wait and see.
My next goal is to see if I, most likely with some help, can make the caption font the same font as used in my posts. Andy said this will require editing the Gallery script source code directly. I’m pretty sure I could figure it out if I looked at it long enough, but tonight is not the night for that. . . And I would feel way more confident about doing it with someone who knows what they’re doing looking over my sholder.
Thank you for all the help Andy. :)
I feel rather geeky. It’s pretty cool! ;)
Andy says:
No offense, but I am not so sure that it’s something you could figure out. It’s not regular HTML. I know I spent the better part of a day figuring out how to get the random images to appear the way I wanted them to (although most of that was spent on trying to get dynamic resized to work, which I eventually gave up on).

None taken. But I’d like to think I could figure it out. ;)
