Bill (author of the picasaWeb plugin -- http://rawlinson.us/blog/articles/picasaweb-wordpress-plugin/) has been very helpful, but Google really changed around the format of the rss feeds. So I've temporarily hacked the code so that it will work for our picasa account while Bill sorts out a more elegant solution. We therefore, once again, have a random album selected each time with some random photos from that album displayed. Well.

I've been working with the author of the plugin, and he's fixed it up.

When you closed your forum I went to a couple of others and had some unpleasant experiences. The members of yours were so well mannered. I described the members of one forum I went to to a pastor's wife as being "ratbags" (see http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?sourceid=Mozilla-search&va=ratbag if you don't speak Australian). Some folk got so nasty if you disagreed with them. No wonder the Church is so weak. Anyway that forum initally deleted most of the posts then closed down. It's sad. So I'm not contributing to any forums at the moment which is a lot less stressful. But we have the grandkids with us while there new house is being built which is good (see http://caleb-rimell.blogspot.com and http://laura-rimell.blogspot.com if you like baby pictures) so I put the time into them. May 2008 I intend to go to South Africa, Nigeria and Rwanda (http://www2.hillsong.com/church/default.asp?pid=175) with a team from the church. That will be interesting.

Hi, Adrian -- I too had a similar display for a few days, then I used reload to see what pictures would come up and the problem was fixed. I was thrilled since I rarely "fix" things on the computer by myself (just ask my husband). What a wonderful trip down memory lane!

A reload fixed it (or made it display as expected) and it always displayed OK in IE. One more thing where God knows the reason why but probably no man ever will. So many things to ask Him when I get there. ...adg The first time I looked at your new page Jay (from Firefox) it had four photos across the top (with white space in between) and the fifth under it.

So you got the same pictures, in the same order, over and over. Now, you get a random album with a random selection of pictures from within that album. That's the limitations of the plugin. I've updated the main entry to reflect the modified code. However, I've started to dig into the code a bit to see if it can be tweaked to pick random pictures that span albums. We shall see.
