I just assumed that you still had loads and loads of HQ pictures, but that Picasa was resizing them all. If you can't get big images, that's all you can do! I'll still visit the site! I certainly understand the usability and maintenance aspect of it, from your point of view.<BR/><BR/>And I've always loved your posts on South American architects (like Kogan etc.). Living in Atlantic Canada and being unable to speak Spanish definitely hinders my ability to find good South American architects. Your site has always been great for that.<BR/>Anyway, keep up the good work!<BR/><BR/>-AndrewUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15696961323964448738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930317057090760777.post-91044897436420477642008-04-17T09:50:00.000+01:002008-04-17T09:50:00.000+01:00Hi Nuks, thanks for the comment!I didn't realise t...Hi Nuks, thanks for the comment!<BR/><BR/><BR/>I didn't realise the Picasa input was slowing things down. I'll do some usability testing to see where things are in terms of loading speed. <BR/><BR/>The main push behind the move was to get the images in a single folder for each post (and it also allows double the filespace). <BR/><BR/>And yes, recently sourcing higher quality images has been hard. <BR/><BR/>I'll see what I can do for the next post to make things faster. <BR/><BR/>You prefer the images in the post rather than in the picasa viewer?<BR/><BR/>Do you have any other things you'd like to see? <BR/>How about some local architects you'd like to see a post on? <BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/><BR/>NickNick Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12722333923564361517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930317057090760777.post-54921463431798829472008-04-16T22:00:00.000+01:002008-04-16T22:00:00.000+01:00I know the current method is probably much easier ...I know the current method is probably much easier for you, but the real draw of this site used to be the fact that I could get nice HQ images of all the incredible houses posted on here. Now the pictures are much smaller, but still take lots of time to load due to all of the "extraneous" elements that Picasa has to load.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15696961323964448738noreply@blogger.com
