Sheller Girls

First Things

Welcome to the Sheller Girls blog on Shellfam.com!

I hope y’all will enjoy this site. This blog is the primary element of the site. Additional features can be added, but this blog can host a ton of content and it’s the only thing we’ll probably need to communicate, share information, pictures,  etc.

There is a privacy feature installed which will not allow anyone access unless they can log-in. Please be sure to create a strong password, and change it as needed. You can access your profile in the Admin section on the left sidebar. You can change settings connected to your profile there. In the Admin interface you can also choose to make a new post, edit a post, upload media, mange your media, etc.

When you do create a post please assign a basic category to it. Please don’t create new categories. I will add one when needed for use. In general we will use Tags to further describe a post, employing just one Category to generalize what the post is about, or perhaps two if there is broad overlap. Such an overlap would be posts with a photo in it when it’s considered a dominant part of the post.

Make a new post when you need to. Do not use posts to reply. Use comments on a post to “comment” and talk about something.

I’ll update this information before releasing the site to y’all.

I’m including a photo in this post to share and to show what a photo in a post can look like. There are options on how to display when you are inserting a photo.

    Marysue, believe it or not, I was just thinking about baby Christopher yesterday, and how pudgy he was and looked so much like a Sheller! Now I see his photo! Have you sent this to Sharon?

    I found it on my desktop computer in an old folder, I must have scanned it a long time ago from an old print. I haven’t sent the PHOTO to Sharon, but she has the info to be here and can get it when she gets here.

    The full photo is here and can be downloaded. Just so you know, anything anyone uploads is download-able from right-click browser menus, just make sure to left-click on photos until their own page is showing the full image if you are looking at photos you want to get from a blog post.

    You can also view photos in the MEDIA section of the Admin section of the site. You can edit or delete your OWN uploads, but only VIEW other’s uploads. When you do that, choose “view” from the menu that shows up (when mouse hovers over) under the picture in MEDIA, that will load the photo in “lightbox” mode (the viewable mode with the blacked out background) … all the copies of that photo can be viewed, you can see the main and then any thumbnails you can click. When a photo is uploaded you see the words “crunching” and that means it’s creating different sizes for the different uses of the photo, so each photo has thumb, small, medium, large, original, etc. in sizing. Anyhow, when you get to the main photo, click on it there until it’s in a browser window all by itself, right-click and choose “properties” to be sure it’s a high pixel version, close that, then right-click on the photo again to choose “copy image” or whatever your browser shows for a save the picture info.
