New Theme

m.m. — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 22:15:27 +0000

I’ve decided to try out a new theme called “Inuit Types.” It’s got a lot of cool features, but I’ve found a few snags as I’ve tried to configure it. For one thing, thumbnails only work with images I’ve uploaded into my WP.com media library—this means that I can’t thumbnail older posts unless I go back and modify each one individually, uploading the images into the library instead of using a link from an off-site source (which I presently use). So, things are going to look funny for a while. At least until I’ve got enough new material posted to account for all of the posts on the front page. That said, you can view each post individually (by clicking its title link) and thereby view each post.

Tulip Triptych

Double Photo Tuesday: Tulip Tree

Okay, so it’s not really Tuesday, it’s Wednesday. I didn’t get a chance to update yesterday, so I decided to go ahead with the double photo post today.

Two shots of a tulip tree in full bloom. Little pops of color against a gray sky. Images shot in March 2009 with a Nikon D90.
