Absolutely nothing to do with Health IT (unless maybe personal mental health
through use of IT counts) but for those easing back into the work saddle at the
end of holidays and for those who were interested in presentation of
family/travel photos, I have come to the personal conclusion that there is
nothing better than getting a little bit of your own webspace and doing it
yourself.
The two rainy weekends in January which included really late nights saw me get
a handle on WordPress and start to explore the interior workings of my
favourite album creating software, JAlbum. I am sure that use of Coppermine or
Gallery2 in the future would provide me more flexibility to have a 'shopping
cart' to facilitate sale of photos and tighter integration into a website but
JAlbum has so many skins contributed that it was marginally easier for me to
start trying to teach myself the code by examining them and the forum
participants were really nice. Also, there are heaps and heaps of themes
available for WordPress.
At this point though, still just a grins and giggles site to keep the world
informed of what me and the dog are up to - www.janandjessie.net
I looked at the popular free photo gallery sites and my general perceptions
were that you would tend to 'get lost in the crowd', not much flexibility with
style/skins/colours, annoying advertising on some, inability to upload large
batches of photos at once unless installing their proprietary software, some
even take the 'rights' to any photos posted on their site! Not to say these
sites don't provide a quick and cheap service to displaying photos to distant
friends and relatives but be sure to read the fine print (terms and conditions).
If I can get something going in a couple of weekends then any of you lot can do
it in an evening or less and I know some of you would even think it was 'fun'!
Oh, and David G, you were right about uploading my development files from Xampp
to host server; just did MySQL backup after replacing some paths in the
relevant file and uploaded whole kit-and-kaboodle!
Happy New Year of the Boar coming up (with an election year, let's hope it's
not a bore) and I hope everyone has a fulfilling year.
Regards,
Jan
