Updated The Image Thumbnail Script

July 22
by Kannan 22. July 2008 11:05

Most of the users here might have seen the images loading in thumbnail format and on clicking the image, the full sized image loads.
I am using a thumbnail generator script which generates the image with the size specified in the query string.  

All these days I allowed the full size image to load when the image is clicked.
Recently I noticed that a larger image which cannot fit on the screen shows as jagged images  (This is a feature of the pop-up image script). Hence I specified the width and height parameters to the full size images too.
Then I found a bug in my thumbnail script . The problem was that I was not checking if the actual image size is less than the one specified in the parameters, and hence when the image size is specified for the small images in the query parameter the image loading script would enlarge the small image to large image.

Now it's fixed.

If any user finds images not loading or not having proper aspect ratio, please inform me through the contact page and thanks in advance too.

Website Now Using Dilectio Theme

July 15
by Kannan 15. July 2008 14:51

All these days, I use to set my themes to be darker themes so that I can help save some energy consumed by the monitors which are displaying my website.
Some of my friends where complaining that it doesn't look good to have the site in dark all the time and requested me to switch to lighter themes, so I decided to switch to lighter theme (atleast for now, lemme put the energy saving scheme on hold for some time)

I had a pre-made theme called "Dilectio", this theme was a three column theme and I didn't like 3 column. Then I converted the theme to 2 column version, but there was a problem with the CSS and it displayed images in an odd manner and the images where overlapping on other contents, so I stopped working in the theme for sometime as I was busy with other activities.

Today I got little time and investigated the problem. Found the problem to be a float property set to the post content image.Now that problem is fixed and site is running with lighter looking theme.
Hope you like this theme.

Website Now Using Dark Blog Theme

June 25
by Kannan 25. June 2008 07:23

It has been days since I changed the website's theme, but not much of themes are good.
Today while browsing Rtur's website (One of the developer of BlogEngine.NET) I came across Dark Blog.

So now my site is running on Rtur's new theme.

Thanks to dark themes, am doing my contribution to save energy used by Monitors when visitors visit my website.

A security flaw in BlogEngine.NET 1.3.0.0 was informed to the development team and they posted a patch 1.3.0.29

Unfortunately the patch link was down and I had to do a new install with migration of settings and taking backup of database.
Took lot of time. Hope everything is working fine.

If anybody finds any bug or problem request you to inform me using the contact form.
