Nice use of Micro.blog photo collections on David Dykstal’s photos page.

Manton Reece

@pratik Nope, but that’s a good idea. Maybe the collection shortcode could accept a parameter for the number of photos to show.

I’ve changed the URL to use /photos instead. It’s now here.

I am confused, on my blog the Photos page appears to be a redirect to a auto generated page so no way for me to add links to collections. Is there another way to make a photos page?

Manton Reece

@frankm You can delete the built-in Photos page and create any page there if you want. The way @ddykstal created it was to use photo collections and then paste in the collection “shortcode” to include thumbnails of the photos on the new page. We should write this up in more detail, but for an intro to photo collections see the help page.

indeed… very similar in layout as Glass Series.

I suggest displaying the specified number of photos, with the last one dimmed with the number of remaining photos overlaid, like several sites like Campground Reviews does.

the ingenuity of the people on micro.blog and the constant improvements blow my mind. Happy Holidays you, Traci, and the kids. Thanks for creating this.

Jamie Thingelstad

yes please!

Numeric Citizen

@pratik I agree with that. I’m really liking Glass.

Mathew Packer

+1 for that feature request, please

it is nice. It makes it easy to see what can be done and why. I want to get around to implement it on my blog, too
