Cross blogging geniusness

Taking on new life. Back in the blogosphere, an activity you never really forget how to do but largely neglect due to time and commitment to the cause. The tech has changed so much over the years, starting on WordPress well over a decade ago, I then switched to Tumblr then back again to WordPress. I find it far more flexible and customisable, where tumblr brings in a nice social aspect with a nifty creative community. So now being back on the case I didn’t want to choose one over the other.. I needed to figure out how to do both.

A quick twenty minutes later, a WordPress plugin called “Tumblr Crosspostr” gives you that ability. In theory this post will act as a test post, writing it on my iPhone (using the WordPress app), if successful I’ll be broadcasting on WordPress, Tumblr, Facebook and Twitter all in a single click of a button! Either to your annoyance or I’d like to think pleasure!

Still have a bit of work to do on the WordPress blog and back dated posts to add, but brace yourself for a lot more posts and news of projects I’m working on.. Inc SWFish and other community orientated projects!

There will be fish, lots of fish! So let’s hope this all works and runs smoothly!

Fun in Devon, even when it Rains.. A lot. While everyone was suffering from the immense downpour this July we took the opportunity to ride the flood water down the river plym.. a tiring day and we're sure to be on regional news soon enough, watch this space!

Cinemagraph: A Jubilee Special.

The work flow is getting faster and faster. A few tips found this time round;

Using the correct blend of filters in PS allows you to cut down on the number of colours, these are actually at 128 bit colour and no real lose of quality has occurred.

Export is king, ticking transparency on, reduces the image size.. Strange i know! Adding a transparency layer would surly add to the file size, apparently not.

Number of frames matters - lower number means you can up the export settings, makes sense.

Oh and one last point.. Tumblr is a pain for hosting Gif's.. Remember it always needs to be under 500px by 500px and if you want to loop forever (and not just play once, then freeze) it needs to be under 1mb.. That's quite a restriction, if anyone can suggest any alternative Gif Hosting solutions (excluding off your own domain) i'd be grateful to hear from you. Please comment below!

Keep Giff'in!
