A note
I don't intend wasting any more time writing special CSS for Internet Explorer 6 or any other buggy browser. Almost 80 percent of my readers use a modern browser such as Firefox, Google Chrome or Safari, and I strongly suggest you do so, too. This site passes both XHTML Transitional and CSS validation by W3C. If it doesn't look right on your screen, blame your browser. Thank you and sorry for the interruption.
Plugin-based photography section
I finally got to designing a unified photo gallery which exists independently of the posts. Some photographs are taken from the posts, while others can only be found in the gallery.
In order to make the gallery as flexible and automated as possible, I got to writing a custom PHP function which finally developed into a Wordpress plugin called Simple Lightbox Slideshow or SLS. Like most of the images on this site, it relies heavily on Lightbox 2. The plugin automates slideshow creation by simply scanning for files inside a specified folder. It was written for use on this site but it is flexible enough to be included in any Wordpress installation. You can try it out on the plugin page.
