Shouting Grounds

Before you guys say anything about it, the mp3 player isn’t working on every page on the site. This is because I’m writing the code to avoid having more than one copy of these tracks on the server.

Feel free to try out the Photo Gallery posting. Just click the link beneath the slide show to the right and attach a photo to the email. You can either refresh to see the update or click the small arrow icon next to the slideshow/gallery title for the full gallery.

I’ve been added photos of things as I walk to and from work, just to give you a reference as to what already posted. I send the photo from my phone and it pops up in the gallery.

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Ok, I’m scratching the existing Flash player in favor of one less flexible but also less dependent on my home machine. The existing player was using a server app called DOT.TUNES to not only allow me to share my itunes library to specific users but also manage what playlists or artists or files they could see. It works great, but the problem is I have no upstream capability being as that I run via comcast.

I found a nice freeware mp3 player which will play web server hosted files. the only catch is that the file that determines what will play is a flat XML file with no automatic way of inputting track filenames or ID3 tags. Oh well…

Next up, I’ve added a photo goodie to the sidebar area. Now this is drawing content from a .Mac photo library that I’ve setup through my account. Now I can send photos to this online album from my photo via email, and I understand that other users should be able to do the same. So if this works right (and I’ll give you guys the information to send photos) you all should be able to post funny/insulting/crazy photos and it will add itself to the gallery.

To summarize:

1. New Flash-based MP3 player
2. New email submission animated photo gallery

Here’s a test entry from Casa El Pasa Del Perrio.

Hopefully this post will appear on the website without my having to synchronize with Blogger.com using RapidWeaver.  

As far I know we should be able to add images and movies to these posts and they should show up in the RSS feed provided by the rapidweaver site. 

Hello again all.

Hopefully I will have no problems posting a new page or a new image to the layout. There has been problems with this utility and aligning images for word wrapping, but that may be my fault for being so inept in using HTML….hence RapidWeaver.
