After my photography spree over the weekend, I needed a more dedicated outlet than the blog.  I'm running nGallery here.  It automatically manages picture sizes and such, and supports ratings and comments. If you're running an aggregator, it supports RSS!  I just hope I have the bandwidth.  I've put a password on it to keep Googlebot and others from crawling it.  The password is “marklio” (without the quotes).  Enjoy!

I still need to mess with captions and titles, but in the interest of letting people see the pictures, I decided to go ahead and let you look at it.

It has an interesting album structure that I'm still getting used to.  Some albums that may be of interest are:

[UPDATE: I'm working on the problem with the above links.  For now, go to the gallery and log in first (password: marklio), then the links will work)

[UPDATE: I'm also working on the password issue.  If you're having trouble, resist the urge to hit enter after putting in the password. Click the submit button instead. That seems to work most of the time. If not, keep trying. Obviously, the password feature was added late in the game.]

the links in your blog lead to an error page ... quote: Unable to find album "siteLogin". Try again.

But I backspaced in the address window to just get marklio.com/ngallery and it gave me the login screen so I'm about to check them out.

Thanks for the info. It appears the login redirector is not properly qualified. Once you've logged in, they should work. I'll see if I have time to address that this evening.

Hey Mark - the password didn't work for me.

B-Dub, resist the urge to hit enter after putting in the password. Click the submit button instead. That seems to work most of the time. If not, keep trying. Obviously, the password feature was added late in the game.

Thanks Mark... great pictures!!! It was really fun spending the evening "chugging all that shutterbugahol" with you and my brother. Hopefully my film pics come out halfway as good as your pictures!

nGallery - never heard of it, but http://gallery.sf.net does the same things (minus the RSS, I think), and it uses ImageMagick to resize, thumbnail, etc. Basically the same thing. I like the ratings.. wonder if my gallery has that option.. but then I would just get mad that people don't like my pictures. =)

Bots - supposedly any crawler or other automated browser is supposed to read "robots.txt" before traversing a web site. I forget the syntax, but if the bots are honest, it is possible to keep them away by posting a "stay off the grass" sign (effectively).

Another thing about nGallery is it's written for the CLR. I've tried keeping bots away with the text file, but some of them ignore it. especially weird ones that attempt to hide their identity.
