My photos page was getting to be a monster, so I separated it out into different categories by year.  I’m going to have to do that to the pics-I-took page as well, and some other categories that are getting too full.  This wouldn’t be a problem if Movable Type had a "paginate" feature, but the categories solution works well enough.  You actually can have pagination by using a plugin, but I’m too lazy to mess with that.  Just hoping they’ll eventually add that feature to the main program.

Stole the code for the pulldown menus in the sidebar from Antipixel.  First I tried to code the Javascript on my own, but the multiple menus screwed me up and I couldn’t remember the syntax to get it to work. So I gave up and stole his code instead.  He’s using a cleaner method than I would have anyway… looks like this will degrade a little better for the search engines, and for the folks who don’t have Javascript turned on in their browsers. But as usual, let me know if it looks or acts funny.  I know the menu area is still too cluttered but I’ll fix that.
