The hardest thing I found about setting up this blog with WordPress was changing the default thumbnail size for images. There are quite a few posts about this on the Internet, but only one of them turned out to be any good.
Here it is: http://blog.japonophile.com/flexible-upload/
Flexible upload lets you specify the thumbnail size as you upload, adds the correct tags if you are using lightbox.js or thickbox.js and offers advanced image placement options.
It worked great, was easy to install and hasn’t caused any problems.

In case you were wondering, we have just switched from Blogger to WordPress, as it is much better. We have it installed on BlueHost’s servers, a US hosting company. Both WordPress and Blue Host are fantastic.
I look forward to more blogging now!

Many people want to know where we buy High Density Urethane (HDU) from. We used to import it from the USA, but that was a bit expensive. After a little research we found an Italian company who makes it. They call it Corafoam – and it’s fantastic!
The company is called DUNA-Corradini and you can see their website here: www.dunagroup.com
You have to buy quite a large quantity to make it worthwhile, so if you want a small piece you can ask Clover Signs – and they might let you have some.
