Hey guys,

Don't know of anyone's interested, but I made this little website for myself to display my photos: http://www.caithnesian.co.uk/

I built it over a weekend using Wordpress... I am a full-time web developer and develop custom themes for Wordpress, so making one for myself always seemed like an extension of work - and I could always find at least 100 things I'd rather do! :D

I've hooked it up to the Google Maps API and have edited my theme to allow geocoding of the photos:

http://www.caithnesian.co.uk/map/

I also used the Google maps API to let me display a map on the individual photo pages showing exactly where I was when I took the photo, e.g.: http://www.caithnesian.co.uk/sunset-on-shurrery/ (Click "View Map" above the images).

It's actually really cool for me to be able to see exactly how much of my part of the World I've explored - along with photos from the trips. I've also signed up for Google Adsense, which gives me some pocket money every month:)

What did I do? Some would say I was unluicky, but after enjoying the first block I volunterred for another, and was alao "unlucky" enough to be given a third. THis was before I was as into walking and bushcraft so I could/should have made much more of the time there. Did spend a fair bit of time in Dunnet Bay & Sincleairs Bay surfing. The landscape is amazing and beutifull coast line too. I look forward to returning for a visit (prefarably in summer when there is more than a few hours daylight :))
