The header logo resides in
/sites/all/themes/drigg_theme/img/, as header_logo.gif
I replaced this with a transparent .gif logo 100pixels in height.

The “Created by “(user) text, for each submission to the site, resides in the file node.drigg.tpl.php, in
/sites/all/themes/drigg_theme/
at line 59 -
I changed this text to “Submitted by ”

At Administer > Site Building > Themes, under the Configure tab,
I checked the Search Box (requires that the Search module is first activated), User pictures for posts, and User pictures for comments (these require that Picture Support is first Enabled, near the bottom of Administer > User Management > User settings);
and checked Display Post Information for Scoop nodes.

Other than these simple changes, I left the theme alone.

I’ve run across a critical glitch in the Aperture/geotagging workflow, which appears to be an Aperture bug - (see e.g. http://aperture-assistant.com/post/151#comments as well - I’ve been searching the web for any possible remedies for this, and find none at present) -

After geotagging in Aperture, the exported image - either with export version to a directory in preparation for upload, or with export via Ubermind’s Gallery Export for Aperture, directly to my Gallery2 installation - is exported without the geotag (latitude, longitude) metadata.  The getag metadata is there in the version within Aperture; it can be viewed in the metadata panel, and it works with the right-click menu show on map… link; but it apparently is stripped during export.

GPS metadata is included with the image if I export the Master, rather than the Version from Aperture.

The images in my Gallery2 installation which display geotag metadata, are ones which I tagged using the Gallery2 Map module (see below), after upload; those I exported from Aperture sadly had their geotags stripped on export.

I’m using
Aperture (on a Mac)
Maperture plugin for Aperture

Menalto Gallery2 with the Map module installed

On the tagging end -
I’ve been playing with the Maperture plugin for Aperture (Mac), which integrates nicely with Aperture & provides a pop-up interface to edit EXIF GeoTags on individual photos or groups of photos, using a GoogleMaps interface.  Here’s a link the Maperture video tutorial.  The plugin is currently a free download in alpha from Übermind.  (Thanks D’Arcy, for your post on this!)
(I’m also using the Übermind Gallery2 export plugin for Aperture, to upload photos directly from Aperture to my Gallery2 installation - very nice; can direct individual or batch uploads to existing albums, even create new albums for uploads.  Don’t let the beta status throw you - I’ve found no glitches & it does exactly what it should do).

On the display end -
I’ve been posting my photos to a Menalto Gallery2 site (v.2.2.5) (here - http://gallery.similibus.org), and installed the Gallery2 Map module.  This will pull GeoTags from the EXIF data on uploaded photos, and also permits GeoTagging of individual photos already uploaded to the gallery via a GoogleMaps interface.  I had a bit of trouble initially with the Map module - seemed to install fine, but didn’t work - I uninstalled/reinstalled it twice & it’s been working fine since that 2nd reinstall.

The GoogleMaps display provided by the Gallery2 Maps module can be set to display and restrict its focus to only the tagged items in the currently displayed album; see the Map Module settings (GoogleMaps link on the System Settings page of Gallery2) for configuration options.

The Gallery2 Maps module also provides for export of the GeoTagged photos to GoogleEarth (screencast without sound):

The examples here are from a hike Mary & I did this July (’08) in the Slovenjan Alps, on & above the Fužina Planina; an album of photos from this trip (some GeoTagged, some not yet) can be seen at http://gallery.similibus.org/v/travel/july08/slovenja/.

The river is incredibly full - the heat is resulting in heavy snowmelt. The gauge is out on the Salmon, but the Sandy where it enters is running 5160 cfs.

Works great.  I’d hate to have to upgrade my Moodle installation with it, but it’s plenty fast for email & general browsing.  I’ll be giving it a good workout in the couple of weeks ahead, likely needing to do some distance work with my classes (am helping provide hospice care for my momma, but that’s another thread, perhaps a novel …)

oh - the modem hogs space over the 2 usb ports on my MacBook.  So I picked up a little Belkin gizmo,  a “flexible usb cable adapter” - a short little articulated usb port extension that cantalevers the modem over the keyboard, freeing up space over the 2nd usb port so I can still use my thumbdrive &c.  Looks cool too.

The pic is on Junior Lake (pronounced june-ya), in Washington County, Maine. Caleb remembers the trip well - reminded me that this is where he caught an enormous smallmouth bass - must’ve been 21-22″ - which I lost while trying to net.

I do miss those lakes.
