Instead, I’ll publish photos here on the Home page, as fresh blog entries.
The result will be more frequent blog entries, with a little less work for me.
This is possible because WordPress, the software on which this blog is based, now provides me with good built-in photo publishing tools for individual photos and for galleries.
I’ve been shooting more pictures.
Last month saw more than 160 new pictures in the Photos section, which is nearing 1,000 photos in all. This month I’m on a clip to top 100 new photos.
I hope to maintain this rate. It’s easier now that we’ve hit better weather.
The pictures are getting better, too.
I’m shooting in RAW mode, which provides more latitude for adjustments, and I’m editing the photos with Apple’s Aperture software, which delivers great results. I also use Photoshop, which lets me use even more tools.
Ups & Downs got a makeover.
The original version, created in iWeb, was attractive and easy to use.
But its commenting system was annoying. The software wouldn’t notify me when comments were posted and I couldn’t edit the comments: I could either approve them or delete them.
Not that I’m into editing comments, but once or twice I heard from the author of a comment who wanted to fix a typo and I couldn’t.
I also wanted more control over the look & feel of the website. Now I have limitless power. 
This is why you don’t...
