Sights and Sounds...

I've put a fair amount of work into re-configuring my entire photo gallery layout. I had planned on writing my own system, I had a good framework designed but I realized it would take way more development hours than I had time for at the moment. I went ahead and implemented the php Gallery for the time being. Its a big improvement over what I had but there are several features I hope they add in the new version. I tested the Alpha version of Gallery2 for awhile but I found it to be more trouble it was worth attempted to re-write it to fit into my layout. Gallery1 was much easier to hack at this time and also seemed quite a bit more stable. I'm trying to go back and put descriptions and titles in for everything but it will take awhile to get to all of them. I noticed several months back that the way I was saving the photos was destroying the EXIF data. You'll notice that only the new galleries have that information present. I may try to go back and fix that on the old ones some day if I get the time.

I have added a few new sets that were not previously in the old gallery. I added 5 more photos to the last England set. I also added the set of The Decemberists from last October.

I have the search feature implemented where you can search from the main page through all the keywords and captions. Comments are allowed per picture and per gallery. I also have the view count for each gallery and image enabled. Also, I think the slideshow feature is pretty cool.

I have also started updating my current music and concerts again. It still isn't fully complete but I went back and added most things I could think of for the last several months into the database.
