Shadowbox JS

Posted on

My investigations into jquery.com have yielded Shadowbox JS.

Let’s give it a try…
… …
Well adding the code to the header file as I did on my static site didn’t seem to work. The js kicked in but it didn’t seem to find the target image. A quick google revealed a wordpress plugin So I’ve installed that and we’ll see if it works better…
… …

… …
That seemed to do it. Now if I add rel=”shadowbox to the href the Shadowbox theme appears. Next is an album. Theoretically if I add rel=”shadowbox[albumname]” to a series of images they will appear as a slide show…
… …
And rel=”shadowbox[albumname]options={continuous:true,counterType:’skip’,slideshowDelay:3}” gives it a counter with an automatic slide show
… …

… …
The whole code looks like this (with broken code):

a href="http://macblaze.ca/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/P1050224.jpg" rel="shadowbox[test]options={continuous:true,counterType:'skip',slideshowDelay:3}" >img src="http://macblaze.ca/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/P1050224-150x150.jpg" border="0"/> a href="http://macblaze.ca/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/P1050257.JPG" rel="shadowbox[test]options={continuous:true,counterType:'skip',slideshowDelay:3}" >img src="http://macblaze.ca/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/P1050257-150x150.jpg" border="0"/>

… …

Apparently you can also link to websites, which is pretty cool.

Simply wow!

Browsing photography sites I came across this and was stunned.

It kills me not to know how much retouching was needed to make this so perfect, but I still am bowled over by how perfect it is…

I was down at the building site this afternoon to checkout the newly arrived greenhouses (all the way from Holland) and I snapped a bunch of pics.

I took this with my iPhone last night at the Xmas Event at Hole’s. There aren’t usually lights in the greenhouse–these were strung for the tours– so this is a unique perspective on our Christmas crop.

Sometimes I love my job…

Time on my hands

Arrive in time
Time travel
When are you here
there

Time loops
Replaying all the time
We’ve been here before
So many times

Last time
The final time
Before I go forward
In time

On occasion of mulling over time travel, again
