I’m doing a bit of house-cleaning/bug-squashing on my end, and looking for places to add photos that were never uploaded. So far, the most embarrassing issue is that I appear to have duplicated my work on photos from October 2014. That required integrating one folder into two others, and recoding relevant pages.
But, as any programmer knows, squashing bugs often has a side effect of creating new ones. This is especially true when the previous plan has kludges. (I can keep tweaking code when I make new pages, I can break a whole bunch of image links and spend weeks fixing them, or I can smack my 2003 self.) Sometimes something may be nested in a folder that doesn’t show a recent modification date. Thus, if you come across a bad image link, do not hesitate to notify me!
In total, I’ve touched 37 pages to some degree or another. Some were as insignificant as making sure each photo had a date credit. Others were rerouting image links to slightly more organized folders. Here are some of the more substantial ones:
- IA 5: Added NB I-35 photos from 2014, and the new end of the Army Post Road stub from 2018
- IA 7: Added Clearview version of LGS photo on NB 169 from 2014
- IA 12 South: Added photos from 2014
- IA 117: Added Clearview version of LGS leaving Prairie City from 2015
- IA 192: Added four-city list on a 29/80 sign from 2016
- IA 273: Historic Hills Scenic Byway sign from 2012
- IA 281: Moved endpoint chart from bottom of page to top
- Sageville (IA 3/386): Added a couple pictures from 2015
- IA 934: Added photos from 2014, updated Cedar Falls information, “Alley Oop” cartoonist Jack Bender retired
- IA 965: Added photos from WB 30 in 2014
- I-280’s east end, which now has a photo from Illinois in 2018, had been labeled as west. Ouch.
I also noticed that my cropping and sizing has been larger as of, oh, the past three years. It’s not too bad except when a photo from 2003 is being directly compared to a photo from 2018. Live with it? Do ’em all over? Probably the former.
