PhotoPic (Drupal module) - custom css
As promised, I have been working on the custom css feature of Photopic. It is now working and has been uploaded as version 0.5.0-beta.
There have been quite a number of encouraging comments about the module, so I am doing something right :) There were those who sent some tips on improving it, with others going all the way as to post info about their modified code.
In the following few weeks I will be going through all the code modifications that were sent to me and continue improving Photopic, including fixing a newly discovered bug, where the module does not work when Drupal Clean URLs are not enabled.
As Photopic is half-way to version 1.0, I have decided to pause on adding new features, and focus more on testing, fixing any bugs, and optimising the code - although there might be a few minor improvements on current features. I would also like to add more validation code for the admin settings page, so that I avoid errors such as when a user leaves a trailing blank space after the username - maybe a friendly message asking the user if they want Photopic to try and fix the error automatically...self-healing module :)
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your nice comments and if anyone who uses Photopic would like to exchange links, send me a message through the contact me form.

Hi Kevin
Reading the comments on your module so far it looks like it could be a useful module. The only other Picasa module is still in -dev and has not had a commit since april last year.
Have you started down the road of commiting it via CVS to drupal.org all good modules really should be commited and I would be much happier about trying this out if it was a proper contributed module.
There are some guidelines here

for starting a module at drupal.org
Cheers
Phil
As much as I would like to, I have not started down the road of committing it to drupal.org yet. The main reason is that I do not know how - still researching and learning about cvs. All the tutorials that I found seem to assume too much :(
I have a couple of links about cvs (incl. the one you gave me), which I will go through in the next few weeks, and hopefully manage to understand the basics.
Thanks for your comment! :)
