WordPress Experiments

My favorite plugin for images is NextGEN ( I have already written about it). There was only one small item missing – possibility of displaying random images in the sidebar. Actually such option is offered by plugin author but as a widget and I don’t use them. What to do then?
I have had a closer [...]

For some time I was searching for the name of function (?) that allows to create clickable images. And I didn’t mean entire image hyperlinked but just a part of it – usually in a shape of some element displayed on it. Finally I found the name – Screen Hotspot or Image Map. Knowing it [...]

Few days off ??? Just may seems like that ;) . In fact I was hard working on re-design of my site. I completely changed its color suite and added few features to make it better, funnier and hopefully also more useful. Anyway I’ve spent few days playing with colors, matching them the best way [...]

First plugin I used to show pics on my page was WPG2. I didn’t use it much as soon I discovered d13gallery plugin which offers options that much better meet my needs. I can have thumbnails linked to full size photos which is perfect solution for me.
Recently I wanted to use WPG2 again and I [...]

I tried to upoald pics on my main site but have encountered problem. Pics were uploaded but I couldn’t Edit them at all. For some reason available options just ‘refused’ to cooperate! ;)
Fortunately I could check here an html code :).
So just in case that’s the way it should look like:
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.nietoperzka.com/wptraining/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/pic1.JPG" [...]
