The examples looks good though at Columnizer jQuery Plugin

2016 has 366 days

Frustrating as it may seem, 366 simply does not divide easily into 2016. It won't be until 2196 that the hexagonal factor relationship will be meaninglessly true yet significant to some. There is to be an election in Scotland this year which will impact on operations directly and indirectly, purely on a resource basis, but this should pass after May to allow some reasonable outputs. In saying that, future predictions seldom factor in the giveashitometer effect (copyright R Allen some time ago?). By now it is becoming clear that this post is self-referential.

NextGen $base-url

Wordpress gallery plugin NextGen has an odd feature if you're using the lightbox option in that URLs are stored mysteriously even after migrating a site to a new domain and updating any stored reference in the database (e.g. using the Serialized PHP Search Replace script)

There is a fix from 2013 by deltafactory on GitHub Gist but this specific issue has popped up on a few forums where the $base_url doesn't change readily.

The only obvious sign that something is awry are the missing images on the lightbox frame:

lightbox-ico-loading.gif

lightbox-btn-close.gif

lightbox-btn-prev.gif

lightbox-btn-next.gif

Big Bang and Balls

Assisting Dumfries Rugby Club with their transition to a new website so that the secretary and club members charged with keeping the information up to date have a more streamlined system (wordpress, typically) to make things easier. The nature of sport clubs means there are considerations on how scheduled future information is managed ('fixtures') but it also has to be easy for ordinary users to enter and update the information as required.

One of the longer term time-savers is the built in wordpress media library which removes multi-stage media upload processes from earlier content management systems.
