New photos up top: the fountains at the Bellagio, dancing to Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man, an excellent introduction; and the gondolas outside the Venezia.

[Update: Nah. Got up this morning and didn’t like those. I’ll find uses for those and other images from Las Vegas, but I like these from Grand Canyon: three condors photographed at Plateau Point, in the canyon, and a pine cone at the South Rim. I showed them to Will and he said they’re kind of clichéd. He’s right, but they’re our clichés. So I like them.]

I’ve made a page for Bruce Almighty, and put up a quick handul of links. More thorough considerations for watching it will be up Real Soon Now.

After reading some help files, I made some guesses that worked out, and the familiar look here is back, but with the “Pages” navigation at top left that makes it easier to find the separate pages regarding Sunday School, individual films, and so on. I’ve made a brief page for Hoop Dreams, and will add to it as the weekend approaches. I’m writing this from a Holiday Inn in Orlando, where I’m attending an Educational Technology conference this week.

Alex King’s Dots Theme, which was the basis for my first WordPress design. It was for WP 1.2, and I successfully adapted it to 1.5 when that came out. If I could get links to Pages to display properly, I’d still use it. If and when I can learn how to modify themes myself, I’ll go back to it. Til then, I’m looking for a similar 3-column theme. Thanks for the nice theme Alex.

I like the older design of timmerritt.net (tiny screenshot at left), but I needed a layout that put the Pages links near the top so people in my Film and Faith Sunday School class could more easily find the pages about the upcoming films. Hence this standard layout until I can find one that allows more photographic customization and higher homepage placement of Pages links.

I’ll have links to readings about this Oscar winnah in another day or so. I’ll send an email to the group when they’re up. I also sent an email with links to the Probing Questions handout from the Ransom Fellowship site.

Found via Bill Bumgarner: PhotoFiltre, a shareware image editor; no time to look at it now (ought not to be blogging her from work, but had to put it somewhere and didn’t think it was right for DV4T.

Good advice.
