Modified gallery/lightbox plug-ins to prevent easy downloading of images. Began updating Little Boy reading list.

Reversed direction and converted all site images to SDR. HDR proved to have too many incompatibilities and partial incompatibilities at this time. Lightroom catalog is ready to convert all to HDR when the time is appropriate. Fixed Youtube video display so that it works on iPhone (before it would display only tiny “play button” icons).…

Finalized v1.0 of Trinity page. Updated Youtube videos, replaced all images with HDR images, replaced Nukemap image with one centered on Trinity site, slightly edited short essay, adjusted formatting, and completed specs. Selected and adjusted final images. Set up image file system in Lightroom to prepare for processing images.

Added solid draft of text and photos for “About this Site” and “About the Photographs.”

Converted Progress Report page to a blog to allow subscriptions. Added (and have 90% configured) the Mail Poet subscription functionality (it’s working but needs wording changed on a few screens, etc). Added Folders plug-in to Pages backend screen (to keep the weapons pages organized). Completed AIOSEO setup and connected to Google Search.

Added short essay to Trinity weapons page.

Updated weapons spreadsheet with years of service and am sorting into broad categories. Roughed out six weapons categories to sort weapons into, combining as appropriate (such as related Fat Man designs). Test converted “A New Kind of Weapon” category into a drop-down directory, successfully, I think.

Solved HDR issues (Public service: In Lightroom, save as AVIF without“Maximum Compatibility” and at 2400 pixels, use Gutenberg Gallery Block (and custom css to prevent final images growing large). Lightbox plug-ins seem o.k. All other galleries convert to jpeg for main image and/or thumbnails or convert AVIF to thumbnail images without gain map.

Added introductory text and links to NUKEMAP portion of single-weapon page. Still testing gallery plug-ins for HDR compatibility. Improved formatting of single-weapon page. Added videos and a Further Reading template to the single-weapon page.

Solved the HDR problem (solution: EWWW plug-in was stripping away metadata including gain map). Encountered a new one—can’t yet find a gallery plug-in that supports HDR. Added first prototype of embedded NUKEMAP.
