Tool o’ the Day
I’ve been being all creative using Gallery to set up a photo gallery. I had messed around with photoblogs before, but what I wanted to set up is not really a blog-style arrangement. Many of the projects I have in mind I want to arrange thematically or by some other criteria than by-the-minute visual perspective of my life. So my first attempt was arranging an online gallery of photos from Craig’s travels in Europe (www.cpwebb.com). I still am figuring out how to watermark and have some more control over the views, but there are so many adminstrative features it’s not a matter of if I can do it, but when can I figure out how.
I’m going to be putting together a few other projects in the next couple of months with the same system. I decided to post about it when chatting with a friend and discovering he had also customized the Gallery system for a photo site. Now he’s got me thinking about how to customize mine even more!
Setup is a little more complicated than something like wordpress (the system this blog is designed on), but if you know how to get into your file management on your server and change permissions on files, it’s not very difficult at all. Anyone else using this for photo display?
