learning something new and sharing as I go
I've been rocking an HTC Evo 3D since launch day back in 2011. It's been a mostly solid phone, but despite all the hype, the camera isn't that great.

http://ottopress.com/2011/photo-gallery-primer/ I've been thinking of moving my family pics from Flickr to my self-hosted WordPress blog. This post shows how to customize the WordPress gallery without the need for plugins.
Long story short, my old host has been down a week with not notice or communication to its customers, so I've moved. Some things are a little whacky with the text and a few other things, but I hope to get back in business before too long. My last database dump was from March (bad... Continue Reading →
