Weekly Photo Challenge: Happy
We’ve been waiting on pins and needles until we could share the new gallery formats which were announced yesterday on the WordPress.com blog! So now that they’re out, let’s put them to good use! We’re going to have a multi-photo challenge!
Happy. I can’t believe we haven’t done this theme before! That alone makes me happy. But there are so many things which could make you happy, so why not group them together to multiply the happiness? Here are some images which make me happy: a sunny day, Mums for Mom, exercise, coffee (of course!), a Vespa by the sea, a popsicle, funny signs, and more coffee!
Share (many) pictures in a gallery which mean HAPPY to you!
I’m including all three new gallery formats just so you can see how they look – I think you should probably include only one in your post, but it’s up to you! Which format is your favorite? I like rectangular, but circles are fun, too! Also, I think 6-9 photos are a good goal for this challenge (I’m using 9) and it shouldn’t take you much time at all to find 9 pictures of things that make you happy! Read the new gallery formats post for information about how to use them on your site.
(Example of rectangular gallery)
(Example of square gallery)

genuine happiness http://tableofcolors.com/2012/10/09/weekly-photo-challenge-happiness/
I couldn’t figure out how to move images in the image library to the gallery. Finally dawned on me to re-upload the pictures again. Phew.. I’m in, at last.

Happiness is such an elusive thing – I decided for me it’s a feeling of lightness tinged with excitment. Here’s my response to the challenge.

Hello, my entry for this week can be found here: http://wp.me/p2zbvU-cQ! Love this week’s theme!
it was actually pretty easy to find pictures, because many things make me happy.
http://piepicheese.wordpress.com/2012/10/09/weekly-photo-challenge-happy/
This was hard to narrow it down to just a few pictures – there are so many people, places and things that make me happy – most of them include family. Hope you enjoy!

Autumn in New Hampshire makes me happy, here are a few examples why.

Thanks for the info on the new gallery layouts. I love the rectangle version—so much that I actually did a photo post this week (crazy!!).
One note: the layout looks great on my blog, but the email version of it is ALL messed up. Just a suggestion for future improvements.
Here’s my Happy post.

I couldn’t create a gallery if my life depended on it (but I tried & tried & tried!), as a newbie I find it’s not really that easy to figure out.
But oh well, heading towards midnight in Europe so here’s what makes me happy.

Be happy
http://thesullinsfamily.wordpress.com/2012/10/10/weekly-photo-challenge-happy/
This was actually a great challenge.. I found and lost the gallery format. And it is not exactly how I would like it to be in terms of format. But I was able to incorporate a video that has music and dance that really makes me happy.. Fresh baked cookies, smiley faces, my mom and dad alive and in love, beaches, sunsets in Istanbul, and dance makes me happy.
Here is my entry.

I didn’t do a gallery this week. I’m going to challenge myself to shoot fully manual for the next challenge. I’ll include a gallery next week if I can figure it out! For now, here is my happy:

We finally got to use both the happy theme and a new gallery! LOVE the galleries! Looks great with black and white photos!
Unfortunately it e-mailed to our followers terribly. Do you know why? Looks perfect on the site but really off in the e-mail. I can forward it to someone if you want to see.
Here’s our black and white mosaic gallery… “Happy Now”
http://brokenlightcollective.wordpress.com/2012/10/11/happy-now/
Also, just so you know, someone let me know that using an old browser, internet explorer 8 on an old computer, they could not see any images on our post that has the gallery. It just is showing a blank space where the gallery should be. Yikes. On current browsers it looks fantastic. If possible, please let me know if I can do anything to make it work properly for e-mail notification and old browsers so that I can continue to use the galleries. Thanks!!
@Broken Light – thanks for letting us know – this is actually a known issue (IE8) that we’re working on.
A whirligig of Happiness:
http://bluebrightly.wordpress.com/2012/10/10/weekly-challenge-happy/
I figured out how to make a gallery, so here’s my second happy entry. I wanted to get it right so that I could feel HAPPY about it
