New Year, New Site
Five months ago when I decided to go about a much-needed redesign of my portfolio site, I didn’t expect it to be nearly as difficult or take as much time as it has. Fortunately, it became much more of a priority when I parted ways with MediaSauce at the end of October. I also needed to write some good articles for the new blog in addition to basically generating all new content for the site.
Change ExpressionEngine Image Sizer Plugin to Crop From the Top
For those of you that don’t know, ExpressionEngine’s ImageSizer Plugin is awesome. Anytime you have a client that will be uploading content images to a site that need to be certain dimensions this plugin is crucial. It will dynamically resize the image to whatever dimensions you need, and even cache the resized image for you. Also, if you specify a width and a height for the image in the plugin parameters, and the source’s dimensions are different, it will even crop the image for you. This is great, but it also has a downside.
