I did a combined dusk/night dive at Folly Cove Saturday night. It’s been something I’ve been wanting to do for a while, and this weekend seemed to be the perfect time, with the days getting shorter, but before the cold … Continue reading
I was in the yard this morning, trying to get ready for the hurricane. I’m not expecting heavy damage here, but I wanted to make sure there wasn’t anything loose that could get blown around. We have some tall dahlias in the garden this year, and I wanted to cut the one that was in full bloom, to get it before the rain and the wind did. Turned out the bumblebees were there first:

I replaced the default photography in the theme with some of my own pictures last night. For some reason, they’re not as sharp as I’d like. Compression could be better too. I know about this, and it’s on The List of Things to Do (along with nine zillion other things). They also need alt text, which will probably need theme support.
Interestingly enough, while I wasn’t setting out to set a theme with the pictures, most of the involve water in some way.
I’ve updated the images. The problem was that when I exported them out of Aperture, I didn’t notice the export was set to the Fit Within 640 px preset. I’ve made a new preset for header images, but noticed it still generates very large files. I’ll need to do some experimenting with compression settings. For now, running them through Photoshop, and using the Save for Web and Devices setting did the trick. I’d still like to be able to add alt text, even though the images are more decorative than informative.
