I’ve been using Pixelpost to host my Photoblog. Pixelpost is an excellent application and has a ton of excellent features. I found there were some things that I wanted it to do that weren’t there so I tweaked it and some other people’s stuff and came up with some of my own.
The first tweak is a modification of James Owens’ Most Commented addon. I wanted to show my favorites of my own work on my about page. So I made the My Favorites Addon..
The second tweak is the ability to have a different background color with each post. Check out my Background Color Changer modification for details.
The last tweak is my template for the site. Pixelpost basically is able to be skinned. You can check out the details here.
Just wanted to drop you a note, Jason, and thank you for providing your template and the color changing background mod. I’m using them on my site (with some modification). Weirdly enough, you were able to visualize the style I was looking for… but was unable to execute (I don’t know what’s wrong with my personal brand of creativity, it’s like it has a fuse that’s wet right before ignition sometimes).
At any rate, thank you again. I actually LIKE how my photoblog looks now and it’s gotten me interested in bringing my digital camera long with me wherever I go. I hope to start updating on a regular basis soon.
