Testing Smooth Galleries… Again

Posted on

Basically for the Next Gen Smooth Gallery plugin to work, I have to resize the images. I was hoping to avoid this as I’d like to link to the full size ones but so far no-go… I think there is a way to link to the wordpress galleries as well…

The following gallery is coded:

smooth=id: 8; width:530; height:500; timed:true; delay:6000; arrows:true; carousel:true; transition:fadeslideleft; links:true; info:true; align:center; frames:True; open:true; text:Pictures;

[smooth=id: 8; width:530; height:500; timed:true; delay:6000; arrows:true; carousel:true; transition:fadeslideleft; links:true; info:true; align:center; frames:True; open:true; text:Pictures;]

Smooth Gallery page

[smooth=id:xx; width:xx; height:xx; timed:xx; delay:xx; transition:xx; arrows:xx;
info:xx; carousel:xx; text:xx; open:xx; links:xx; margin:; align:;]

id: The id you were already using on [ gallery=id ]
width: Width of your image container
height: Height of your image container
timed: true/false to slideshow your images
delay: Time in miliseconds before moving to the next image
transition: Animation when moving to the next image: fade, fadeslideleft,
continuoushorizontal, continuousvertical, crossfade, fadebg
arrows: true/false to see the arrows for next/previous images
info: true/false to show the image description
carousel: true/false to see all thumbnails
text: Text relative to the Carousel
open: true/false to show the carousel opened/closed
links: true/false to click on the image and open the original image alone
margin: Distance from the gallery border to the text
align: Gallery alignment: left, right, center, float_left, float_right

So long and thanks for all the books

I attended the retirement soirée for Neal Fossen today, my long time print rep and friend from Quebecor (later to become Worldcolor). I’ve known Neal for at least 13 years now and he is my favorite small ‘c’ conservative ever. We had many a lunchtime conversation and I hope to have many more.

As well he is one of my favorite colleagues. He never shovelled me no shit and always was accomodating to our idiosyncratic methodologies. And that’s saying alot in an industry of commision sales. He’s still around but the world isn’t likely to see many like him in the future.

Crazy…?

[singlepic id=168 w=320 h=240 float=none]
[singlepic id=174 w=320 h=240 float=none]

…and always, more in the gallery.

I am eternally grateful, literally

I found this post from March in my draft folder. Somehow it never got posted... Oh well, better late than never!

If I ever leave this world alive…

Upon occasion of watching P.S. I Love You and hearing If I Ever Leave This World Alive by Flogging Molly.

If I ever leave this world alive
I’ll thank for all the things you did in my life
If I ever leave this world alive
I’ll come back down and sit beside your
feet tonight
Wherever I am you’ll always be
More than just a memory
If I ever leave this world alive

If I ever leave this world alive
I’ll take on all the sadness
That I left behind
If I ever leave this world alive
The madness that you feel will soon subside
So in a word don’t shed a tear
I’ll be here when it all gets weird
If I ever leave this world alive

So when in doubt just call my name
Just before you go insane
If I ever leave this world
Hey I may never leave this world
But if I ever leave this world alive

She says I’m okay; I’m alright,
Though you have gone from my life
You said that it would,
Now everything should be all right

She says I’m okay; I’m alright,
Though you have gone from my life
You said that it would,
Now everything should be all right
Yeah should be alright
