SOME RANDOM DUDE

I am going to miss you 36Clicks, but you were just too high maintenance and I frankly did not have the time to deal with you. I still think the idea of a photoblog was great, I simply just do not have enough cycles to devote time to two blogs. What resulted was a half-baked photoblog that was never fully completed and less posts on this one.

So, 36Clicks will be retired and the Photograph of the Week will be coming back. The more things change, the more they stay the same…36clicks, blogs, half baked, high maintenance, photoblog, photograph Photography

After a relatively long delay, 36clicks, my new photoblog, is up and ready to be viewed. As I mentioned earlier, I intended to launch it at a fairly good state and then go through a second pass after I got a little user feedback. After playing with it, I already have a list going in my head of changes I want to make. Still, I am just glad that it is live and ready to be used.

Please give me your feedback on this post as to what you would like to see on the site, what you think is not working and what you think is working. Feedback of any form would be absolutely great. One major reason why I hope for a ample amount of thoughts/opinions is that I will be releasing this theme after I go through a second pass on design and code cleanup. There are not that many photoblog themes out there, so I thought giving this one out could help some folks.

I am going to be posting photos on 36clicks about two times a week if all goes well. I am unsure if I will continue the Photograph of the Week feature on this site, although I may cross link to my 36clicks photos on this blog for the first month or so in order to get some viewership. I would love to hear your thoughts on whether you would like the photograph of the week to continue on. Personally, I feel it would be redundant and of less quality - this blog has never been a good format for large media…

One of the problems I am facing is that the plugin I am using to drive the photoblog, Yet Another Photoblog, uses phpThumb and it hits my server’s CPU relatively hard. I had hopes to integrate my 36clicks photos onto the home page of Some Random Dude, but until I resolve this, I am hesitant to pull the trigger. I am unsure if this is a known problem of this plugin or if I am implementing it incorrectly. Nonetheless, I will be working on this issue in the coming days.
