Obviously somebody named the fisheye lens after a fish, but I wonder if fish actually have fisheye lenses, or do we just think they do because their eyes bulge kinda like the lenses?

I suppose it’s remotely possible somebody looked at a fish and said “hey – I think I’ll build a lens that works like that fish’s eye”. But I doubt it. Pretty sure the lens came before the name.
Why don’t we call telephoto lenses “eagleyes” or something? Dunno.

After much contemplation I am finally starting a blog. Not because I have all that much to say, but because one of my clients wants me to set one up for her, and I believe the only way to do it right is to master the process first.

After some research I settled on WordPress. I wanted something that could be hosted wherever I wanted, is easy to install and highly configurable: WordPress scored on all counts.

Installation was a snap. Learning the WordPress system however is a little challenging. I know what I want to do but figuring out where it is or how I change it has been surprisingly roadblock-fraught. For example, the documentation for adding images misses a lot: it doesn’t actually tell you where the images can be found once you upload them.

Oh well…anything worth doing is usually hard to learn.
