3 sites: MES, Tokoriki Diving and Farm Peace & Love
Just thought I’d post a few sites I developed with Textpattern.
MES Fiji was the first site I created with Textpattern in 2007, Tokoriki Diving was the second one (which I upgraded from static HTML pages and which was so quick and easy to achieve) and Farm Peace & Love I recently upgraded as well.

Hi Elle,
your sites look very nice and that sure looks like a nice part of the world. I haven’t looked in any detail but had an idea that may reduce your work in future: your title images on MES Fiji have a transparent overlay worked into the image but you can also achieve that using an overlay and CSS to save yourself the extra work of creating that in Photoshop or similar. You’re using the font Georgia, which almost everyone has.
Upload the photo and make the title your caption. Then output your image in a container div that also contains your title wrapped in a span, e.g.
<div class="slideshow"><img src="myimage.jpg" alt="myaltdesc" /><span>My title</span></div>By using position:relative; on the class slideshow and position:absolute; along with top:20px and left:0; and the css opacity: 0.8; property (note IE needs its propriety filter command in the css) you can overlay a semi-transparent label with css. You can experiment further with it too. I built something similar recently with jquery innerfade and the smd_gallery plugin but upm_image and probably other plugins would do that for you too.

Thanks Jakob and what you are saying is very true. I used that technique for a different website recently.
