The following is my Sunday night grid for the Fall 2008 TV season. It shows what I will be watching etc. I will be posting them at TVaholic for each day of the week. Want to see what it will look like under the Semiologic theme. So, when I switch over, they won’t be all messed up.

I tested NextGEN Gallery for adding individual photos to a post, but now want to see what a post looks like when you add an enite gallery. So, here are those Mariners game shots again.
Update 4:04 p.m.: Looks pretty good, now to see what it looks like in the feed.
Update 4:10 p.m.: Not good in the feed. The slideshow link takes you to some other feed on Feedburner and the photos link directly to there full version, not a gallery on your site with all the info/descriptions about them. Now I’m not sure if I’m going to use this or not.
Update 5:35 p.m.: I tried removing the Slideshow from the galleries and while that removed them from the site, the link still appears in the feed, which is where it doesn’t work. Looks like if I use a gallery in a post that I will have to cut it off in the feed and make the photos only viewable from the site. Also, came across a pretty good write up on how NextGEN Gallery works, even if it doesn’t help with my current problem.
Update 6:50 p.m.: Well, it looks like the Slideshow finally did get removed from the feed. But, still looks like I’m going to only display the photos on my site and not in the feed. Which isn’t that big of a deal cause some of the photos I will be using aren’t supposed to be only viewed on the site and not pushed to the end user anyway.

The following was posted earlier today over at my other site TVaholic.com. I am testing version 5.6 of the free version of the Semiologic theme for WordPress right now. I am trying to see what things presently posted over there will look like under this theme. Also, so I can make some tweeks to the theme before I try using it over at TVaholic. So, let’s take a look.
Tonight, NBC has the Summer Olympics 2008 Closing Ceremony.
Over on cable, A&E has the third season finale of Gene Simmons Family Jewels, Animal Planet has an Animal Witness special about the Michael Vick case, HBO has the miniseries finale of Generation Kill, Spike has the TV movie premiere of S.I.S., and USA has the seventh season finale of Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
The Simpsons (FOX): Repeat. Homer and Marge get stranded in the Tunnel of Love at an amusement park after Bart plays a prank, in “Love, Springfieldian Style” from this past season.
Aliens in America (The CW): Repeat. Justin and Raja both end up being the school mascot, in “My Musky, Myself.”
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (FOX): Repeat. John and Cameron end up in a dangerous spot on a school trip and Derek and Sarah try doing business with a less than honorable businessman, in the first season finale episode, “What He Beheld.” Season two premieres Monday, September 8th.
Desperate Housewives (ABC): Repeat. Lynette finally finds out who it really was that set the fire at Rick’s place and Bree gives Orson and ultimatum, in “Opening Doors” from this past season.
Summer Olympics 2008 (NBC): Closing Ceremony. Also, the men’s volley ball final. Runs four hours. I pretty much watch no Olympic coverage whatsoever, which is weird for me. Not sure why they didn’t hold much interest for me this go around.
Food Network Challenge (Food Network): New. Four chefs compete in a catering for a gala event battle. Plays again later.
Law & Order: Criminal Intent (USA): Season Finale. Goren finds a picture at his mother’s grave and it leads him and Eames down a dangerous path into his past. Plays again later.
Mad Men (AMC): New. Don is dealing with issues regarding his wife and some TV comedian. Joan gets Don a new secretary. Plays twice and again later.

Last Saturday I went to a Mariners game at Safeco Field. It was a great night. The tickets were free. The rain stopped before the game started and they opened the roof. The game went 11 innings. Unfortunately, the Mariners lost. But, they pretty much suck this year and were playing the AL East leading Tampa Bay Rays. Entire Mariners vs. Rays gallery.
I used the NextGEN Gallery plugin for WordPress. I think I’m going to start using it at TVaholic.com.
