Sharon and Jacques’ Excellent Blog

I recently upgraded the web site photo software. One of the features it enabled was using an Internet Explorer plug-in called Cooliris to view photo walls of the picture galleries. It also works on lots of other websites like YouTube, Google, and Flickr.

To install Cooliris, simply surf to www.cooliris.com and click on the Download Now button in the middle of the screen. Answer the appropriate security questions and after a few minutes it will install. Now comes the fun part.

On your browser toolbar, you should see a small button that contains two overlapping green and blue rectangles. They look somewhat like two CRT screens. Surf over to one the picture galleries (click on a link below) then hit the Cooliris button on your toolbar. You should see a black wall with pictures from the web site displayed. As you move your mouse left or right, the wall will scroll and new pictures will be added.

It sounds complicated but it isn’t and is the fastest way to view the picture galleries.

Here’s a gallery from our recent trip to the Dominican Republic to try it out on:

Have fun!
