Simon’s Weblog

Hi People

I’m sorry to inform you, that I changed my blog software.
For reading it changed nothing, but if you use my rss feed, you have to update the location.
Old feed url: http://blog.simeli.org/atom.xml
New url: http://blog.simeli.org/feed/

As you can see, I installed Wordpress.
Reason is, that movable type is an overkill for my use and Wordpress comes with some features which I couldn’t find in Movable Type.

So, go on reading and have a nice day

Yes it’s true. My blog has a new feature, “Lightbox” for displaying images:

Lightbox JS is a simple, unobtrusive script used to overlay images on the current page. It’s a snap to setup and works on all modern browsers.

The installation was really easy.
1. Download Lightbox JS v2.02 (lightbox2.02.zip) from
http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/
2. Unpack it and then upload all files
3. Include lightbox.css in your index template:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/lightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

4. Add prototype.js, scriptaculous.js and lightbox.js in your index template:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lightbox.js"></script>

5. Tag your image links with rel=”lightbox”
6. Finished.

Here is a small example:

While searching for a new style for my blog, I stumbled across Jowra. It’s just a pretty nice theme he made. You find some really nice photographs in his Photolog too, as some wonderful art works! This guy knows his job well…

Go for there.
