Bringing Order to Tattoo Chaos

By loom on August 10, 2007.

I'm finding that my post on science tattoos is getting troublesome now that I've added in so many images. Slow to load, easily bugged.

Update: Ignore the stuff below about Picaca. I'm going to Flickr. The home for the set, with comments, is here. And you can subscribe to an RSS feed of sciencetattoo tagged images here, to keep up with the collection's additions.


So I'm experimenting with an album on Picasa. I will continue to add images to it as people send them in, and will include captions from the comments that come with them. If you click on an individual image, you get the caption with live links back to their source. Let me know if you have any tech problems on either end...

Here's the link:

And here, I hope, is an embedded slideshow

Let's try again, without the captions blocking the screen...

Nope. The slideshow prevents the rest of the blog from loading. Sheesh. How many billions is Google worth now?

Blog Notes
I'm back from Pittsburgh, where the blogging-meet-science writing workshop went very well.

Regarding my RSS feed
Hi everyone. First off, thanks for all of the encouraging comments and emails! I'm excited to be blogging here at ScienceBlogs, and I hope I can bring a little bit of humour and general silliness to the proceedings.

Our RSS experiment
For the past week, we've been conducting a little experiment with Cognitive Daily. In the past, we've had several readers complain that we don't include the full post in the RSS feed for CogDaily, so last week we published every post in its entirety on RSS (if you don't know what RSS is, I explain…

Now, go and get a Flickr account and let us know your ID there so we will be able to follow your postings via RSS

Nicely done. I really enjoyed this and have forwarded this link to several non-scientist family members that have tats.

Oldcola [1]: I don't see how I can add lengthy captions to flickr pictures, which makes Picasa more attractive. Am I missing something? (No surprise if I am...)
