Unbound Hearts

As you can see, we’ve moved! (My apologies to Uru Blogs readers for the duplicate posts that showed up in the feed.) The reason is very simple: WordPress kick’s Blogger’s posterior all over the place. After helping Renata set up her own blog – which I encourage you to read, if you want to see the Ages through the eyes of a true anthropological talent – the advantages of using this elegant and powerful software became clear to me. (I swear they’re not paying me to say this.)

I know the URL is a lot less friendly. That’s the only reason I hesitated to do this. Fortunately, until I can get proper forwarding on my server, there are now homepage links to the Unbound Hearts on two websites:

• Go to Lore (lore.gilgarn.org)
• Go to Uru Blogs (urublogs.com)

If you want to send new people our way, just give them one of those addresses and tell them to click “Unbound Hearts.” Or, better yet, bookmark us.

Beyond that, I hope the benefits will be obvious. The Picasa thumbnails are now working – in all browsers. Our ability to upload pictures, media and HTML content is now unrestricted. I can also open registration for other members of the UH to post on the front page. And as you can see, the importation process was absolutely seamless, so all of the original blog’s posts and comments have been completely preserved.

Feel free to comment. Feedback is important.

Will the person or persons responsible for placing three traffic cones in the Bevin fountain in upright and equidistant positions, please contact me pertaining to the matter of how in the world you did that.

 

If anyone’s interested, I’ve uploaded my entire library of KI photographs, from ’05 to present. It’s separated into two albums. The first, Expeditions, contains the raw images dumped from my KI. The second, Portfolio, holds the select few shots which have undergone careful CS4 processing.

As you can probably see, I also added a gadget to display the image feed on the right side of this blog. It’s a bit limited, though; it doesn’t allow me to specify the album, nor the picture order. If there are any other Picasa users out there, I’d be grateful for any advice.

Update: Apparently the display gadget fails dramatically in Webkit browsers. I’ll keep working on it.
