Clark went on a harrowing bulldog walk last weekend that lasted nearly 30 minutes and spanned fifteen blocks!Some moments deserve more than one angle. That’s why we’re ecstatic to give Photosets a huge upgrade today, giving you new levels of control to tell your stories the way you want to.
1) Photoset photos now open in all their high-res glory on the Dashboard and on your blog.
2) You can now pick a layout for your photos to tell the right story.
3) Tumblr Themes can now make Photosets look and work any way you please with a host of new theme variables:
{block:Photoset} <!-- Number of photos --> {PhotoCount} <!-- Integer representation of the layout --> {PhotosetLayout} <!-- JS array of the Photoset column counts --> {JSPhotosetLayout} <!-- Each of the Photoset photos --> {block:Photos} {PhotoURL-500} {block:HighRes} {PhotoURL-HighRes} {/block:HighRes} {Caption} {block:Exif} ... {/block:Exif} {/block:Photos} {/block:Photoset}Enjoy!
