Using WordPress Custom Fields to Display NextGen Gallery Slideshows Conditionally

SR 20 - Snow Slide (by Washington State Dept of Transportation)

When I was setting up up the NextGen Gallery plugin to manage my portfolio I decided I also wanted to display a slideshow of the images on certain pages. Since NextGen has a Slideshow feature built in (sort of but I’ll get to that) I assumed that this would be a piece of cake (and why is something that is easy called a piece of cake anyway?). But it wasn’t as simple as I though it would be. Fortunately, I found some awesome resources to help me out.

NextGen Gallery Plugin for a WordPress Portfolio

WordPress 2.8 Upgrade Issues and Recommendations

Stress 39/365 (by Crashmaster007)

I don’t usually post on Fridays but after monitoring twitter and the WordPress forums for issues with the WordPress 2.8 upgrade, I decided a quick post was needed. And, yes, WordPress 2.8 was released a day late.

I always recommend NOT upgrading the first day a new version of WordPress is released. While WordPress itself is stable there are SO many plugins and themes that can cause issues. And it’s not possible for the WordPress gang to test for every possible configuration out there.

(Anti) Social Lists 6/7/09

This week I’ve got some Twitter, WordPress, social media, some funny stuff, and much more. I’m getting very nervous … I have less than one week until the 7 year old sleepover. I think it’s going to be fun, annoying and exhausting.
