Blogger Photos

The more careful reader will have noticed that certain photos are clickable and yield, on a new page, a beautiful high resolution image (usually of me). However, some photos trick you by showing you the little hand, daring you to click it, only to be dismayed by the lack of any action whatsoever.

Using my brilliance, i have determined that Blogger occasionally forgets to wrap the images with their hyperlink pointer to the original photo. i have corrected many of the uploaded images and future images will all point to decent sized photos.

For the interested, Blogger stores all your photos on one of a number of servers indexed by a long, mostly unintelligible, key. Something like this:

Conveniently, the "s400" indicates the image size (s400 is the large size, s1600-h is the largest size) and happily Blogger stores all the different sized images in the same place, so, if you are also a Blogger user with this problem, simply surround your images, using the Html editor, with anchor tags and point the href to the same location as the src of the image, except change the s400 (or whichever size you uploaded the image as) from the src to s1600-h.

Voila.
