Gary likes taking photos, wearing suits, and lives a rich and fulfilling life. Professionally, he’s a part-time imaginary friend (though he often wonders what it’d be like to be a suit maker). Not much is known about Gary’s background, other than that his closest companion is an art director from Sydney, Australia named Josh Beggs. Josh is the creative director of an entertainment magazine, has a dog named Baxter, and is a talented illustrator.

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!

Name PBS Parents
Location Arlington, VA

Even the most amazing parents can use a little help sometimes. That’s where PBS Parents comes in. Their main site focuses on children’s development including social and emotional, physical and educational. The PBS Parents Tumblr blog, in contrast, celebrates the fun of parenthood. For example: Check out this incredible Mr. Rogers Cake, these pun-tastic vintage Valentine’s Day cards, and this helpful infographic on Types of Diaper Loads. Also, there are cute baby pics.
