My photoblog goes online!

Launching my photoblog

Why a photoblog?

Logo photoblog

Since the last months, I have been thinking about the different ways of putting my shots online. Flickr is definitely the best to act as some portfolio for your creations and Picasa is the most secure way of holding your albums online with a very customizable access control. With the powerful wordpress in hand, I wanted to develop my own photoblog and I really enjoyed customizing wordpress into a photoblog :-) As some of you probably know, yashvin.net was my old domain and I decided to bring it back to life by presenting something new and as interesting as this blog. The photoblog has been fully customized starting from the theme itself and has been pumped up with some custom codes and wordpress plugins. Special thanks to those friends and bloggers who tested the blog and provided me with their feedback to make this site even better! You will also notice that all my blogger friends have been linked from the photoblog and I invite all of them to link this photoblog back, please!

Now time to discover the features of this new blog!

What has been keeping me busy?

As you will probably notice at first sight, the rating system. Rating system

Too lazy to view images in their individual pages?

Don’t like the dark theme?

This color switcher option is currently DISABLED. Unfortunately the wordpress super cache plugin worked wonderfully well and cached all pages on the server, causing my color switcher module to fail. Later, I will either have to choose between performance of the photoblog or keep this color switcher option, but for now, performance matters the most! Meanwhile have a look at the screenshot below for a preview :P switch

    Thats great! I indeed understand the addiction to photography.. :P i myself have been updateing my flickr more often than my own blog. Was trying to figure out a way to share my pics more easily.. was looking for some apps to suck the pics from flickr.. but nom were succesfull. finally i decided to remain on flikr itself!

    btw, the theme on ur photoblog is really good. WordPress power. indeed. Since its near perfection.. my critics will be very high :P dnt mind.
    I was clicking on all the pics, trying to figure out where the comment form was.. well.. i had to click on the title.. thats the only *glitch* i noticed.

    oh.. this comment is long.. yeah.. for the link backs.. s4ndeep.wordpress.com is dead.. its sozzz.net

    Thanks.. will add ur photo blog ASAP.

    Rock ON!!

    Pas mal. L’ironie c’est que j’essayais moi même jusqu’au matin (sans succès! faut le faire) Picasia hier :)
    Est-ce la proximité de la Nuit du solstice d’été (la Saint-Jean), où les délire est à la fête et on voit parfois même passer des sorcières.

    Je n’ai encore rien noté car je suis à la bourre- après avoir tout vu je délibererais ur le nombre d’étoiles (3 pu 4) pour “Touching the ship”. Mais je te signale une petite difficulté à passer à la page 2 (ça tarde, normal?). Et aussi (mais tu l’as peut-être fait) que tu ne signale pas le amke de l’appareil. C’est en général ce que font la plupart des photobloggeurs (moi mo gegn honté).

    A neat idea and well organised. A nice way to browse photos. Good effort has been put into the presentation. Looking good.

    @Sun : Just added you on flickr and updated my blogroll on both sites!
    There are a few apps that are actually good, but they did not reach my expectations. With my own photoblog on wordpress, sky is the limit!
    There are so much customizations possible!!! And I have already planned my next features!

    Its a pity that the color switcher does not work with Super Cache. Just Imaging switching colors!

    Ya, you should click on the titles to see the comment form. Perhaps I should add a small comment icon somewhere to guide the visitor through the site. Thanks for your feedback!

    @Dodrock:
    Picasa est simplement trop top! C’est si facile de choisir tes photos avec le logiciel picasa et ensuite envoyer par mail ou les mettre en ligne directement!
    Pour le probleme de lenteur, je pense peut etre que ta chance n’etais pas avec toi :P Quelqu’un a peut etre bouffé ta bande passante :P
    J’ai mentionné que c’est un Fujifilm S5600 sur la page “About”, mais c’est une grande aventure qui commence avec le photoblog! Reste branché et n’hesites pas à cliquer sur les étoiles!

    @AloMoris : wawa, avec zotte support!

    @Mike : Thanks a lot Mike.

    @Carrot : A new blog into the Mauritian blogosphere despite it’s a bit different from all the others :-)

    Finalement je n’ai eu aucune peine pour passer d’une page à l’autre. Je trouve que c’est très naturel, spontané avec parfois des idées et petits moments sans prétentions, mais sympas. La photo de madame penchant la tête et laissant voir le paysage est ma préférée (page 3 au bas à gauche). Dans mon métier on m’a toujours conseillé de faire vivre une photo avec des gens. Tu peux voir toi même la différence lorqu’il n’y a personne(eg à Cap Malheureux).
    La photo de la vierge est intéressante. Je me pose la question sur celle de N. D. Rose-Hill par exemple. J’ai l’impression qu’elle a été modélée sur une bourgeiose de l’époque. L’expression tournée vers le ciel permet beaucoup de représentations. Mais sans doute que j’exagère.
    Bonne continuation.
