there are rainbows
Double rainbow at dawn on New Year’s Day in Honolulu, 2009.
Can you take a bad picture of a rainbow? I wanted to share this, but I could not for the life of me figure out which of these photos is best.
So I’m adding them all but justifying the lack of editorial eye by using this as a chance to play with the NextGEN photo gallery plugin (again).
This time it needs to be a sidebar with a thumbnail that launches the whole photo gallery, from alongside a larger story. This is a functionality that has been requested at Mālamalama, just testing it here.
By the way if anyone else is just getting started with NextGEN Gallery plugin, there are some helpful instructions available from this guy.
UPDATE January 12, 2009
Doing this all kinds of wrong, ugh. Using the compact view album instead of a link to a gallery that has it’s own page(!!). Makes a lot more sense… I think? Only thing is, I can’t have words wrap around this because if I put it in a narrow div then the gallery and slideshow try to open within it.
Now to figure out why the captions don’t show in the slideshow…

doh! by making the there-are-rainbows gallery have its own page, a link to it now shows where ever pages are listed, like in my upper right side menu Pages widget.
That’s no good.
