    • 450x338
    • 350x263
    • 250x188 - 250 x 260 makes the controls display above/below the photo
  • may also change "centertag" to "rightfloat" or "leftfloat" and use a width/height

TESTING TESTING TESTING - MAY NOT BE WORKING RIGHT:

By Full Text Search (fancier boolean search example) using user_id (search descriptions, titles, and tags) (without m=tags)

NOTE: Tested and validates. Off-site service: flickr.com.

NOTE: I know that "sigma" and "chi" and "eta" are not tags but are in some photo descriptions or titles (at least for now on February 16, 2011), and I know that "respiratorytherapist" is not in the full text but is a tag.

Get all of Ohlone College's photos tagged with "sigma chi eta" (group these words inside parentheses) or "respiratorytherapist" (uses user_id). Group AND words using parentheses encoded as %28 for open/left parenthesis and %29 for closed/right parenthesis. Do not use m=tags which switches to search only tags.
