In this WordPress tutorial, I’ll show you how to add photos to your galleries for the PhotoNexus theme for WordPress. I’ll also show you how to add a new gallery (category) and then sort the categories in the sidebar. Click image to left to view video.
Carbonite
I shied away from online backup because I have backup drives scattered around the house, the office, I make DVDs once in a while, I have portable backup drives, and ach, I’d only lose a few days’ work anyway, right? Well, yeah, as long as you really do back up regularly. And as long as your house or office don’t burn down or get robbed.
WordPress Tutorial: Simple Image Gallery with Captions
We wanted to get some images into WordPress side by side and with captions, but also in categories on the same page.
WordPress Tutorial: Image Captions and Text Alignment
Captions for images are tricky enough, then add text alignment (wrapping) and CSS and it’s a recipe for disaster. Using the “Image Caption” plugin for WordPress and the simple alignment tool in WordPress, I’ll walk through aligning images, their captions, and the surrounding text.
Image Captions
I often get requests for the ability to add image captions to images. Technically, it’s a bit of a pain, so I usually recommend to just put some text under the photo or next to it. Better yet, use a photo gallery (e.g. NextGen). I just ran across the Image Caption Easy plugin and so [...]
Vector Magic
I’m not a print designer, but occasionally I need a vector graphic for something and I have to open up Illustrator and then days seem to go by. No food, no water, just me and my vector graphic. Check out this fancy-pants online tool: vector magic.
Explorer PNG Transparency

G2 Remote
Do you know about Gallery Remote? It’s a handy desktop interface so that you can upload entire folders of images to a site. I use it for my personal (schatzkin.com) photography site (with Xoops, but no difference, really). I could not upkeep my site otherwise; it would take too long to upload images one by [...]
Post Icons

Tutorials
We could write it all out and paste screenshots and make big numbered lists. But why? The screencasts (screen-capture video together with audio) walk you through step-by-step how to processes. Popcorn?
WP :: Photos
I’ve been happily integrating Gallery2 into WordPress lately and it’s working well. However, it’s overkill for someone who just wants to put up a few photos in a few albums (and doesn’t need fancy-pants watermarks, integration with shopping carts, etc.). Just found a few that look promising: Plogger Example WP Integration Simple Viewer Example WP [...]
