As usual, the Lee Fields flooded so I went out for a scout around. My shoes are sopping but I got a few good shots! At least others had fun in the water!
Lots and lots of photo manipulation and retouching tutorials on this site! And here’s another photography faq of interest to new camera owners.

Ryan’s explanation of the is_* functions in WordPress 1.3 is an excellent summary of some of the new functions in this version of WP. In WPMU, it should be possible(I haven’t tried yet!) to do the following from your Smarty template: {if is_search()} <b>The Results of Your Search:</b> {/if} It’ll display the message “The Results [...]
