Seven Nikon photos from yesterday with plenty of mountain peaks and beautiful palm trees. I hope that the wind subsides enough today for me to get a few miles in on the bike. I have some new riding gloves on the way from Amazon today but they may not make it here before noon or one PM.
My hands have begun to show some windburn, they are getting red! Yesterday afternoon, I did a small redesign of the site. Most of the fonts were made larger and I added a background color that is roughly the color of sand which represents the surrounding Mojave Desert colors.
I don’t know how many of you use that damn Reader, but I hope that you visit this website directly. The Reader is handy, I’ve seen it and tried it and just don’t like it, it’s a very sterile way to visit a blog. Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful Hump Day!
Love all the palm trees. One of the things I hate about the cold and wind is that it really dries out my hands.
Thanks so much! 🌴 The current humidity in Las Vegas is 17% so you may not like that. I have to apply lots of lotion! But, I love the dry climate, it’s healthier for me. I see my palm trees out the bedroom window each morning…
I like a new design of your blog, John!
I use Reader all the time. I don’t know another way to see what my favorite photographers ( you are one of them) are doing.
Beautiful images of mountains and palm trees!
Thank you, Kaya! I work with the Style Sheet, or CSS to change the look and feel of the site. You just need the actual web address of the blog for direct access. It is:
https://lvphotoblog.com
Thank you, John.
Your welcome!
I like your new look! And I also agree about the reader – it’s way more fun to go directly to the sites. It is also possible to get to the sites via the reader link (as described above), which is what I always do.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you. I just assumed there would be a direct link to each website in the reader thing, thanks for confirming this. The reader is just so boring and sterile to me.
You’re welcome! WP does make it a bit more roundabout than it needs to be (in my opinion).
WP has a few things that need cleaning up but they don’t seem to listen to their huge user base.
Very annoying!
I agree, I think WP is too big for it’s britches sometimes. They do host a huge number of sites on the web though. There are some very big name companies that use them.
I don’t like the Reader and don’t use it.
Yay, thank you, Anneli! 😂❤️
Too bad, too, because the formatting does show one’s aesthetic vision for the blog than the bare bones one.
Wow Doug, I don’t actually see what you are seeing, maybe it’s your browser? Thanks for the information.
I’ve no idea why this doesn’t work for you. Are you still using the previous WP version?
The formatting you describe appears if you tap the “visit” link in the lower lefthand. Otherwise, the formatting is dropped and you just get the bare minimum.
I just don’t know why you would be seeing the site that way. I’ll see if anyone else is seeing things that way too, thanks, Doug!
Background and all the “fancy stuff” work with “visit”, but click anywhere else, and the background is white, the text moves to the left, and the photo montage unstacks and reappears one at a time, each below the previous photo, and enlarged. (Incidentally, after the last improved version of WP started up, I haven’t been able to create photo montages, which I feel is a neater way of posting many photos than one after the other.)
Wow Doug, this site isn’t set up like that at all. I suspect that your browser and/or other things in your machine need to be updated. Do you have a different computer to try? The site looks the same on my iPhone and iPad.
OK.
