So much for being clever. I decided I didn’t like the layout of thumbnails with different verticle and horizontal dimensions, so reverted to using only 100x75px thumbnail images. This lines up more nicely to my eye, but has the significant disadvantage of not allowing portrait-sized images. And cropping works only sometimes, because you can’t control which part of the image is cropped, so sometimes you end up with a thumbnail showing only sky or something.
So back to the drawing board on the thumbnail grid.
Meanwhile, I’ve uploaded some new images, including a few from my 2006 trip to Alaska. I also finished the functionality of the Categories menu including nested categories, visible now in the Multibox Gallery.
This is barely functional and has only a few photos (as of 4/12/2009) but:

This is based on the Multibox Mootools script and helpful css guidance from TJKDesign. Multibox is a nice lightbox-like script with many extra features, including the ability to put any html inside the overlay box. It took me a while to find a solution for even display of thumbnail images with different proportions, so thanks to TJK for that.
