Josh from Cooliris just emailed me to let me know that PicLens Beta 1 has been released. PicLens completely changes the way view online images. After quickly installing this currently Safari-only plugin, I took it for a spin by visiting my flickr photostream.
Whenever you hover over an image on a site like Flickr, Photobucket or Facebook, a little icon appears in the bottom left corner of that image, similar to Flock’s image integration. Click that icon and the magic begins. PicLens takes over and introduces a stellar full-screen slideshow interface that words can’t describe. I would usually spam you with tasty screenshots and a review right about now but it’s past 3am and I couldn’t sleep without getting this out there.
Oh, and you can control PicLens with your Apple remote!
PaulStamatiou.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress
Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.
With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like PaulStamatiou.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.
I used the Scribe WordPress plugin and service to optimize this blog post for SEO.
