Some have thought it for a long time but you can now officially call me a Twit…terer.

KM UK has gained a Twitter feed.  It’s @KM_UK.  There is a link in the menu on the right.

The main uses for the Twitter account will be for info gathering and announcing updates to this site.  It is not my intention to use it for general communication but we’ll see how it goes.  But if you want to use it to contact me please do.  Keep in mind that I am new to this so things may not go smoothly at first.

Happy New Year from KM UK

Happy Xmas

As the end of the year rapidly approaches it’s time to reflect on the past 12 months.

I think that’s about as clichéd a start as I can manage

Of course, it would be more accurate for this site to talk about the past 7 months because it only started properly in mid-May.  And what a 7 months it has been!  For Kathryn and this site:  Cold Case renewed for season 7 after so much speculation, the AOASHP movie finally released on DVD, Kathryn attending various events giving us some fantastic pictures (who can forget the Creative Arts Emmy ones?), and there were some other photos of note… can’t think of them at the moment though…

And I thought Santa was supposed to be granting people’s Xmas wishes, not keeping the best stuff for himself!

Time for a bit of Xmas themed fun here on KM UK.  I’ve put together a sort of advent calendar in the Gallery.  It is not properly interactive in the way I’d like, so that you’d click on a “door” to reveal an image.  Instead, I’ve had to use a simpler system where by each day a new image will be revealed (assuming I remember and am able to).  Clicking on the thumbnail will reveal a larger version of the image.  Even bigger and better versions of each can be found elsewhere in the Gallery though.  Clicking on an unrevealed image will only show you a bigger version of the thumbnail, or nothing.

Obviously all the pictures are of Kathryn, but I’ve chosen a set of pictures of our girl really smiling.  25 great smiles.  What could be more Xmasy than that?

Unfortunately I only came up with this idea yesterday so I’m already a few days behind.  Tomorrow I will start “opening doors” revealing 2 at a time until we catch up.

You can find the advent calendar HERE, and I have added a link in the menu on the right to make it easier to get to.

Update: Thanks to zoé for the Xmas themed ‘K’ logo.  It looks great.

Hello again.

I’m back in a situation where I can update KM UK as normal.  Expect my normal HD screencaps from the two most recent episodes of Cold Case to appear in the next day or so.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Kathryn for not attending any events during the downtime so I would not miss photos of her at them

KM UK is going to be quiet for the next couple of weeks.  Other commitments mean I will not be able to make any significant updates to the site during that time.

Unfortunately my usual posting of HD screencaps from the next couple of new Cold Case episodes will be delayed.  That is assuming the episodes themselves aren’t delayed of course.  Rest assured the images will be done, just not as quickly as normal.

Any other business will have to wait as well.

Be good and look after Kathryn for me.

RichE.

For readers viewing KM UK using popular mobile devices I have added a great WordPress plug-in to make viewing it easier. It is called WP Touch by a group called Brave New Code.

The plug-in gives users of the iPhone, iPod touch, Android (Google phone), Opera Mini, Palm Pre and BlackBerry Storm a very different looking site, with the same great content of course   The layout is designed to fit on the small screens much better and to reduce the download size, improving performance.  Most of the usual features are available, including being able read and post comments.

Mobile users that don’t want to use the simplified theme can flick a switch at the bottom of the page (see 4th image below) to revert to the normal theme, as viewed by desktop browsers.  Using something like the User Agent Switcher Add-on for Firefox users could see the mobile theme on their desktop.  Examples of how the site looks with this option can be seen in the images below.

Hopefully this addition is useful to some of you.  Let me know what you think.

Late last night I realised that the Contact form on the main site and the Gallery registration process are not sending emails as they should be.  I think my webhost has made a change which means the emails are no longer being sent correctly.  Unfortunately I do not know when this problem started.

This means that if you have tried to contact me recently via the Contact form then I have not received the message.  I promise you that I was not ignoring any messages sent, I just haven’t received it.  I have managed to fix the Contact form problem.  If you have sent me a message via the Contact form recently and not received a response, please send it again.

The effect on the Gallery registration process is that you may not have been sent the verification email.  You need a link in that email to complete the process yourself.  There have been a number of accounts left unverified for a while now, to tidy things up I have deleted all those pending one.  If you have submitted a registration recently and not received the verification email, please re-register and send me a message via the Contact form, include the Name and User ID (not the password) you used, and I will enable your account ASAP.

Sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Update: I’ve seen evidence that the Gallery registration verification emails may be being sent.

We’ve reached a milestone and I thought it was worth celebrating.

Clearly we are well past the 100th episode of Cold Case, as seen above being celebrated by Kathryn and the crew in late 2007.  That was the World’s End, episode 7 of season 5.  But it seemed like an appropriate image.  Danny is standing awfully close though isn’t he!

It definitely is not Kathryn’s 100th birthday.  How dare you even think that

No, it is 100th day of this site, Kathryn Morris UK.

The site started as an experiment to see what I could do with the available software and a wish to use the domain more.  I didn’t think it would become all of this.

Thank you to everyone that has contributed so far, and thank you to everyone that has visited in the past 3 and a bit months.

If you are new here: Welcome.  I hope you like what you’ve seen so far.  There’s plenty more to come.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.  Please use the Contact form.

Want to see Lilly wielding her gun?  Catch a glimpse Kathryn’s tattoo?  Are you looking for a particular photo of Kathryn but are not sure where to find it?  Or do you want an image with particular content for a banner, signature or avatar?  Yes?  Then gallery searching is for you.

The KM UK Gallery has a useful search facility for finding images quickly and easily.  Type the a Cold Case episode name, film title or event name into the search text box, click the search button, to get a list of appropriate albums and images.  You will find the search box is situated at the top of the Gallery’s front page, it is different from the one at the top of this page.

However, to make the Gallery an even more useful resource, and not just a collection of pretty pictures of a very pretty lady, I have started the process tagging the images with keywords.

To explain this fully I have put together a page with more details on the tagging and ways to use search effectively.  See the page on Gallery Searching for more details.

Having found the images you want don’t forget to rate and comment on them.  It would be good to hear about your favourites.

If you use any of my screencaps in your work I would love to hear about it.  I’m not looking for credit, just curious to see what you come up with.
