First phase of a modest photo gallery redesign has gone live. I’ve cooled the colors a little, added some texture to the background the thumbnails appear against, and increased a couple of font sizes.
Still playing with things to do with the title and description, ways to make them not break the boundaries and such.
They said “sometime in the coming week”. Then this morning I got notice that the move had happened.
I haven’t checked much, but the top-level blog still works, at least. Since it’s a different system name and probably a different disk name, and a much updated Linux distribution (they say 64-bit, and the previous server was running 32-bit), there is certainly room for moments of unusual interest.
I’ll check more tonight, and should have time to work on actual problems then (even if I find a problem today, I can’t take time to fix it during work).
If you find something suddenly not working, please leave a comment here, or email me.
For the record.
I changed two categories into tags, and split one category into two meanings one of which became a tag. Maybe things will make just a little more sense now. Maybe.
It seems to have gone completely cleanly, at least at first glance. I do of course have a database backup and a file backup from just before the upgrade.
I haven’t looked into what new features I might want to exploit in my custom theme yet; nor have I looked at maybe using any of the standard themes. There are certainly infelicities in my own theme that I’d like to get rid of.
