The Blog Within

After upgrading to WordPress 2.7 on Jen’s blog and mine, I noticed that the Shutter Reloaded plugin was no longer working. This is the plugin that makes photos pop out to full size and darkens the background behind them.

At first I blamed the plugin, but when I perused the author’s website, I found a comment from another blogger who had found the real issue.

It turns out that the Worpdress upload dialog no longer automatically fills in the URL field for the uploaded photo. Without this URL, Shutter Reloaded has nothing to reference and the effect is not generated.

This is what to look for:

The ‘File URL’ button that is circled above needs to be clicked one time, the first time you upload a photo, and then all future uploads will have it filled in by default, just like it always used to work prior to 2.7.

So when it was all said and done, I traded my Palm Centro for a Treo 680 and with an emormous amount of effort got the Blackberry Connect software to work.
And now I am posting this entry from my new Palmberry!

It turns out Palm offers Blackberry Connect for the Treo 650 and 680, but to use it I would have to trade my Centro for Jen’s Treo and I would have to buy the Blackberry data plan. It turns out my new employer offers either Verizon or AT&T, so I put in for a Curve on the AT&T plan so that Jen and I can still talk mobile to mobile and not use up our minutes!
