New Section Added To Gallery – Maps

I have added a new section to the gallery dedicated to old maps of the Peterborough area. This didn’t exist on the old gallery but while I have been looking through my stash of images I have come across quite a few old maps and these can be fairly interesting when looking at how Peterborough has changed over the years. So far, I have only added the 1 map but once I get all the photos moved from the old gallery to the new one I will work on getting more added. We are now at over 800 photos in the new gallery so we’re getting there!

Teething Troubles!

Looks like we are having a few teething troubles with the new photo gallery. Last night it appeared that comments were not showing and I was up until 2am trying to solve the problem! The author of the plugin has been extremely helpful and has solved that problem. However, I have noticed a new error appearing on all pages but it does not seem to effect the running of the site so please ignore for now. I am working to get this issue solved and also adding photographs as I go.

New Photo Gallery

I have decided not to upgrade the existing Gallery. Instead, I have installed a new gallery that is actually a WordPress Plug-In, so it works properly with the site. What this means is that it was designed to work with the website software. Adding comments to each image should be much easier, a slideshow is built in so viewing photographs should become easier. Unfortunately, there are downsides! All the photographs already uploaded to the old gallery will now need to be uploaded to the new one, which I have already started on. Another disadvantage is that any comment made on photographs in the old gallery will be lost when it is finally taken down – however, I will try my best to add those comments to the new gallery.

To access the new gallery, simply select ‘Photo Gallery’ from the above or left-hand side menus. The old gallery can still be accessed by selecting ‘Gallery’, and this will remain until all work is complete on the new one.

Update: Photos can be searched for using the website search box at the top of the page. This is handy if you are looking for specific posts, pages or photographs and could save a lot of time.

More Emergency Services Photographs and Site Updates

Chris Porsz, A&E Porter - 1970s

15 more photographs have been added to the Emergency Services section of the gallery, and as you can see from the photograph (left) it features a young version of Chris Porsz himself!
I will also be updating the website software, both WordPress and the Gallery. They are both slightly out of date now and I have been reluctant to do this just in case I lose anything. So, if all goes according to plan, you shouldn’t notice anything. If I have any teething troubles I will update the site somehow with information about it. Fingers crossed!
