This is the newest addition to our the inside of our house. Our good friend Jonathan Raney who is obviously an amazing painter, has spent the last few months creating this fantastic rendering of our favorite picture we took while we were on our Honeymoon a few years ago. The town in the painting is Manarola, a beautiful town in the Cinque Terre (the Italian Rivera). Watching the painting progress from pencil drawing to finished piece was a treat, as I have never been involved in the creative process to that extent. Jonathan put his heart and soul into this painting and it shows.October 30th: I’m “bumping” this post just so I can see this amazing piece of work again. Jonathan, thanks so much for your hard work we are thrilled to have a piece of yours in our lives for many years to come!
Hey, I just wanted to say that I really like the site. It’s got a lot of stuff I am looking to do with my page. Could you give me any help on integrating “gallery 2″ like you have? I also really like how the images pop up on the main site like that. Any help you could give me would be very much appreciated!!

I really like your site! Well done. I am looking to integrate gallery2 just like you have but am having some trouble. Can you point me in the right direction? I also really like how your images on your main page pop up. What are you using for that? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Seth,
Thanks for the positive feedback! The popup images on my site are images that are “lightboxed.” There are a variety of wordpress plugins that help with this but I wrote my own because I needed the practice.
I will be releasing it on this site soon. As you might have noticed my site is a very lightly modified K2 theme and being a founding developer of the WPG2 plugin, gallery2 is integrated using that. My gallery2 theme is customized version of the sirux gallery2 theme that I spent quite a bit of time tweaking for a perfect fit. Have you spent any time browsing the WPG2 forums? You can find a links to them at the bottom of my sidebar or you can google “WPG2.” If you want to post your specific problems there it would be a much better place to get some help solving your problems. You can also pm me there as well. Hope this helps a bit and feel free to come back from time to time as I get some “how I built my site” content up in the coming weeks…

Hi! I found your site from the G2E forums, and I am very envious of how nicely you have a thumbnail embedded and aligned in your post. I am having a lot of trouble getting text to wrap to the top of the image, as you can see if you visit my website. I was wondering if you would be so kind as to help me, or just to show me how you’ve configured yours, and build from there.
Thanks!
Otto,
I checked out your site, and I’m pretty sure you cannot get your post text to align any higher in relationship to your pictures. The slight gap is due to the line height of your .storycontent css class. I did notice that you do not have a .g2image_float_left css class. If you add this css element you will be able to control the margin and padding around your images. Maybe that will get you the look you want!
