There are five options available with the current software I'm using for the web site. I think I'm using the best of the five but I don't think it's brilliant either.

If anyone would like me to I'll put some up in a different format for discussion.

Hi Trevor - I see that Jalbum software has been suggested as a possible alternative. I've been beaten to it, as that's what I was going to suggest! I don't know if you'll remember, but we had a bt of a discussion at the beginning of the year, after I'd sent you some photos of the Robin gig, and I'd mentioned the possibility of you linking to my site. If you - or anyone else who's interested - would care to have a quick look, you can see Jalbum in action at http://www.digitalsensor.co.uk . JAlbum is pretty easy to use, and doesn't need any server-side software or add-ins; basically, you tell the program which photos to use, hit a few options and it generates the pages and links for you. The resulting pages are pretty easy to incorporate into an exisitng site - little more than a case of linking to the new pages.

Another option, and one that I've used in the past, is a php-based program such as Gallery or (better but more complicated) Coppermine. The big disadvantage with these two programs is that your web host has to support php, and there's a little bit of setting up to do. The advantages are that the resulting galleries are configurable, so you can change their appearance, and they have nice features such as the ability to upload photos in batches. They can even be set up so that users can uload their own photos.

If you'd like any more info, give me a shout off-list.

Cheers,
Eddie.

Great photos at the Robin Eddie!

Glad you like them! I have loads still to upload; I took a lot more (several hundred, in fact!), and I ended up with so many similar-looking ones that I'm having difficulty deciding which ones are the best. There's no point in uploading all of them, so I've divided them into groups (individual band members, group shots etc.) so that I can pick the best ones and upload a roughly equal number of each of the band (otherwise I'd end up uploading 200 shots of Livvy ).

I've got the same problem with the pics I took of The Reasoning - too many photos, too little time One day, I'll get around to sorting them out...
