Hm, this is actually looking nice. Photos menu on Blot.

@Gabz That does look nice. Is it from a theme/template or have you been tinkering with it?

@grayareas it is definitely not something I created. I had been playing around with Blot and I asked David if it was possible to create a photos menu and he created one. So far I have been posting/maintaining both my Mb hosted site and the Blot site and can’t really decide which one I should stick with.

@Gabz I hope to play with the same combo this summer when I have a little more time. A page like that — and photo stream, à la Instagram — would be nice.

@Gabz that’s very cool! I’d love to do something similar. Do you know what was involved with setting it up?

@herself honestly I have very little knowledge about how it got made, I apologize. When I first setup my Blot account I emailed David to see if it was possible to create or have such feature added and he said he’ll look into it. He did reply a day or two ago and he basically created another template for the default theme. Looking at it I’m assuming he created/added an HTML file with some code, I’m assuming that that’s what does the magic. I’d be more than happy to share it. I just not sure on how to go about it. Like, can I share the actual html file or copy and paste the code somewhere? If you have any ideas please let me know. 🙂

David is very good at sharing this kind of work ... maybe he already has it somewhere we can all access?

@Blot Thanks so much! I'm going to have a go at setting it up myself but more than likely I will need to pester you for help :)

@Blot Looks like it worked! I went through the same steps as when I set up my tags page and it seemed to do the trick. The bit that always catches me out is that I forget to create a new view in the template settings, even though the html file is there in the directory. Thanks again!!

@Blot what's interesting is that the page has only picked up the first photo from every post... what would be involved in grabbing them all?
