New features added to the site…
25 07 2008Since it became a bit confusing to manage ~ 30 single pages that held the pictures from my little gallery, I decided that I had to find a better solution. Namely this solution is a plugin called “Lightbox”. It displays pictures as an overlay to the site and should work with most modern browsers. On older browsers it will open the pictures in a new window - which is actually not desirable but better than seeing nothing
Here’s an example of how it works:
If you’ve been on this page before, I am sure that you’ve noticed that the size of the picture is way larger than it used to be. After I’ve recieved many requests for bigger pictures, I thought that it actually would be a good idea
I’ve already changed my knives-page with the new lightbox-feature and added bigger pictures wherever I still had the originals on my HDD. As for the others, I am going to take new ones because some of them are already 4 years old and of bad quality anway. The smaller pics like the one in my previous post will be kept for posting here on the main page but the single pages that were used to accumulate the pictures for each model will be deleted soon.
I’ve also enabled caching for my site because in the past couple of weeks the site was not as responsive as it used to be. I hope it now runs a little bit faster. The only thing I know at the moment is, that the fault does not seem to be on my end.
Cheers, Rob
