New template

As I’m sure you can tell, there is a new template here at Puggy blog ...

The old template was a default Expression Engine template, and while it was fine, it was a little narrow and restrictive. So now I’m using the “trifecta” template from EE Designs

Not only that, but as with all sites here at blogroll, I’m also using the navbar from the Ottoman template, also from EE Designs

I’m sure you all wanted to know that, huh?

Gallery reorganisation

I’ve just reorganised the photo’s that are on Brutus’ picture gallery.

http://smeg.serveftp.org/gallery/Brutus/

Now in there you will find a folder with the date / occasion that the pictures were taken on, instead of just lumped into a big folder. Inside those folders the pictures are now thumbnailed for easier viewing, and because I’m running that gallery off my home machine, it saves on my bandwidth too.

Let me know if I missed anything, and if there are any broken links as a result!

As always, if there is a picture you like, remember it’s file name and look in the /raw folder. In here will be the original photo, as it came off my camera, which makes them perfect for printing up!

Animation!

Now, above each new day posted here there will be a cute little animated pug Just look up!

If you like it, or if there is a problem, leave me a message below.

Bath time!

Brutus got his first bath from us today

It was a lot less painful than I thought it was going to be ... for the most part he just stood there and let us get on with it. I bathed him, Diosa took snaps

Isn’t he *cute*?!

More pics here.

New photos

Uploaded some new photos to Brutus’ gallery, some taken today, some the other day ... also including some pics of him and Nikki

I had them recommended by a workmate (Thanks Darren!) as I was looking for somewhere that would print up a digital photo of Brutus for me ... while there are plenty of places online that will do this, these are the guys I went with ...

I took the original photo from my digicam, which was a 1632*1224 JPG file, uploaded it to them, selected an 8” by 10” matt print and paid for it (just shy of $6, delivered).

It arrived yesterday and is absolutely stunning ... fantastic quality ... we went to Sears to pick up a nice frame for it

I thought for a while about getting a printer that could do photo quality prints, but I figured that I don’t want to do a vast quantity of them, so it doesn’t make sense ... these guys solved that one for me.
