A slightly new style on my end pages

(Shorter text: UPDATES! Finally!)

Photos from July 2012 have been added to IA 3, 9 West, 10, 12, and 148.

One of the issues with updating the pages for individual routes is that I have listed all the dates at the bottom of the page. When I insert a photo or two — or insert one, use an existing one, and replace one — that numerical correspondence to the credits becomes broken. I have to run through the lineup again, checking to make sure the first, ninth, 15th, etc. photo was actually taken on the date it’s attached to.

The synchronization issue really rears its ugly head when I already have 20 or more photos on the page.

In order to make that less of a problem in the future, I’m going to change where I write the date a photo was taken. Now, the date will generally be placed on the line under the photo giving the direction the picture was taken (“Facing east”). In the sections where I still have a cluster of photos all taken on the same date, I’ll make a universal mention early.

The odds are, if I hadn’t said anything, readers might not have noticed anything. But I thought I’d write anyway as a little bit of excuse rationale for why, despite taking quite a few trips, no new photos had been placed on end pages for months.
