LooLoo. Does your toilet make you this happy?

Here is George Takei (Star Trek’s Mr. Sulu) singing On the Road Again in the cancelled-after-one-episode reality show, Secret Talents of Stars. Hmm.

Aaahh, the 80s…

90-second-long photos. Of course my first one is of Ben. Or check out this video to see what a really beautiful 90-second-long photo looks like.

Well, it’s taken a bit of work, but I have almost gotten my WordPress 2.5 galleries functioning the way I want them to. The last step has been creating a custom category template that can show all my galleries on one page, with a short description for each one. Again, the inspiration for this was Matt’s site. A little bit of reading clarified how category templates worked, but I had no idea where to start on this. Thankfully, a kind person on the WordPress.org forums posted a basic gallery category template. I used this as my starting point, modifying the code to get it to look the way I wanted. Happily, this was easily done, and I only needed to make a few additions to my stylesheet to get it to look pretty. You can see the final result here. The category template is available here, and I have included the relevant styles inline.

I then created a new page and used the Links to Page plugin to get it to link to the gallery category page. You can see the link up on the top nav menu.

Things are now almost exactly as I want them. The only thing I haven’t been able to figure out is why the current page indication in the top menu is a bit wonky. I have posted the question on the WordPress forums. If anyone has any suggestions, thanks for going over there and letting me know.

All the cool kids were doing it…
