Comment on iPad 3 Web Image Test by Matt

In this context, PPI is meaningless. The pixel-density of your image should match the pixel-density of the display for which you wish to optimize your images. For a standard display, you will achieve best results by creating images at 100% the desired display size and displaying those images at 100% scale. For Apple's Retina displays, you will achieve best results by creating images at 200% the desired display size and displaying those images at 50% scale to achieve an image pixel-density of 2.

Very interesting test, thank you.

So should all images be at 72ppi for iPad2 and 3 or at the actual ppi of the device you choose to optimise for, i.e.: 133 or 264ppi?

Thanks.

Comment on Advanced website creation using TTG plugins, Part I by Andreas Kaufer

Great tutorial. Thanks! Concerning “Setup Domain and Hosting”: unfortunately still many web servers run php4 as default even if they have php5 available. This made in my case TTG CE2 plugins fail with fatal error messages like “Call to undefined function: str_ireplace() cannot be found” (because this function only exists in php5).
A simple trick to overcome this problem is to put a .htaccess file with permissions 755 in the folder where the TTG CE2 created page resides. The .htaccess file should contain the following two lines:
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

Hope this helps – Andreas

It’s another option, and you either like it and use it, or you don’t. For anyone was keen on SimpleViewer, I think Juicebox is a logical step forward. Juicebox probably handles larger collections of images better than either the Galleria or Photoswipe slideshows available via Pages or Stage as well, so there’s one clear advantage. And another would be that you won’t have to regenerate from Pages to update images on your Home page; you would just have to replace the Juicebox gallery. At least that’s the plan. Can’t say anything for certain until the updates hit with Juicebox support, but I don’t anticipate that statement to be false.

I just glanced at the features, and wonder what this brings lightroom above and beyond what is provided with the PHotoswipe gallery?

Fonts operate according to the ‘font-family’ rules for CSS. You can edit the font-stack to include whatever fonts, in whatever order you please. The provided font-stack choices are a matter of convenience only.
