New WordPress Plugin: Photoblog

I started a new Git Repository for a WordPress plugin I’m creating to contain the features that I want on this website related to Photoblogging.

• I want to display a grid view of photos, in columns of 3, as I do on my photos page
• I want to be able to add landscape and portrait photos, without breaking the grid view
• I want to be able to navigate the photo’s with the arrow keys on the keyboard
• I want to be able to add Galleries and make these appear as. a single image set in the grid
• I want to enable zooming on all images by default
• I want to display a short paragraph below the photo
• I want to support video’s as well

Currently only the first two bullets have been implemented. I’ve created a custom renderer for the Post Content that extracts the first image block (in the future I’ll add gallery and video blocks).

Then I added some styling to make the images always fit within the designated grid square, without stretching it to the image’s original size.
