about the site

tim o’brien photos is powered by wordpress 2.7 and a slightly modified dojo theme. it does not have a high contrast color scheme and the font is too small, but nosquint and accessibar for firefox fix those for me. As I learn more css, i plan to offer font scaling and an alternate color scheme.

previously i uses a modified dojo theme. the theme modifications are discussed here: A (Partly) DIY Accessible WordPress Theme. The following plugins are currently being uses:
