Time has come for Coppermine Photo Gallery to stroll in to the blogging world. Abbas Ali, a CPG Dev Member has set up a WordPress blog called CPG Dev Team Blog for the devs to post about programming, web applications, technical stuff and all-things-coppermine. I’m very proud to be considered a member of the Dev Team but my main accomplishments have been porting several WordPress themes to Coppermine so that users can seamlessly use WordPress and Coppermine together in the same theme. True I do support the users through the support board and occasionally develop a hack or two (Comment List for CPG for example) but the real magic is in the easy to install and use features of Coppermine that come from all the selfless hard work of the coders and support devs. Coppermine is a free open source application so if you’re looking to display or share any type of media (images, photos, music, video, etc) online, give Coppermine a try.

I’ve been an avid reader every since I was a little rugrat. I was raised on a small farm in southern Illinois before color TV came into our lives and there were only a handful of channels that we could get way out there. I remember walking into town to go to the Grayville Carnegie Public Library to check out books whenever I had time between chores. We were rather poor (6 kids!) and it was a long way to a store that carried books so I spent a lot of time there. I always got books for my birthday and Christmas and remember sitting in an old tree out back reading in the summer heat (who had air conditioning!). I’ve always thought of putting my book (and maybe movies) list up here to share and came across Viitoria’s blog where she displays her library using a really nice WP plugin called “Now Reading“. 
I have to admit I had some troubles getting the sidebar issues dealt with but maybe if I had read the instructions a bit more carefully (or maybe if they were a bit more clear 
), it wouldn’t have taken most of the day to figure out. These issues will make nice fodder for another article. Once you get the hang of editing the library templates it’s pretty straightforward to make it work with your theme. For me it was understanding the sidebar issues. It’ll take some time to get all my books up on the shelf so check back often to see if anything interests you and if it does, please click through to buy it from Amazon.

There was a request over at the Coppermine Photo Gallery Forum for a port of the WordPress i3Theme. This is a great theme designed by N.Design Studio then customized by Mickey Cheong Kah Meng of MangoOrange
