The Blue Haven

As you know, I’ve had issues getting the Image Gallery to comply with this layout here. I’ve decided to pursue using a different template for the image gallery (”Modern” by Ross Howard). This uses a black on black colour scheme, but I tend to like it. It just doesn’t fit with the whole “Blue Haven” idea, so I may end up changing it eventually. Though, if you think it’s fine, I won’t if I don’t have to. So please leave a comment about that.

However, issues with Singapore makes it so that I can’t immediately upload my images, seeing as my images exceed 3000×2000 resolution when I take them. It ends up crashing the entire gallery. As thus, I’ve always had a qualm about when and how to update the gallery.

I found a nifty little program called “Multiple Image Resizer .NET” that can convert my selected images all at once to a smaller size. If utilized this way, I can definitely upload my images faster and without crashing the gallery.

So expect the gallery to be finished (not in terms of content) by the end of this month. I have AP tests and graduation coming up and cannot spend as much time immediately on it as I would like.

And yes, Michelle, I’ll include yours in there when I do so.

I finally got the image gallery semi working. There are a few kinks I’d like to work out but later.

The image sizes will be small due to limitations. I tried to post a 2592×1944 pixel photo prior, but they didn’t show in the gallery. And since there were some who use 800×600 resolution, I had to downsize so that they could view it on that resolution (Sorry, but you’ll all have to see a small version of the bigger picture. At least I still have the originals…).

You can find the image gallery through the navigation bar at the top, or click HERE

I’ll try to post more up later.  Too… tired.

Well, I added a JS Dropdown Menu now. Once I get more pages in, it ought to serve more use.

I just added a event countdown plugin on the sidebar of the page. Only the closest two events will show.

If you forget when Late Arrival is or something, it will be there.

In other news…

This is AWESOME.

If you are reading this, you have just witnessed the opening of The Blue Haven.

There isn’t much here, because I’m adapting to this software, but more will be up soon.

There should be an RSS feed somewhere at the bottom of the main page, so you can subscribe if you want.
