I was hoping that I could get some feedback. I have just been playing around
with a different way to share photos.

Please check out both links and tell me which one you like best. The new one
is interesting (gallery.mac.com site) and has some different sorts of controls
at the bottom too.

Anyway, this is the OTHER thing that sucks up all my paychecks...

The second one was much slower to load than the first, but didn't look that much different. Maybe it's because my copy of Firefox is heavily fortified- just like my favorite wines.

I like the first one... But maybe the iNerds would like the Apple-version...

Now, there's a hobby that I could not handle...
I couldn't save a bottle for a 'wake-up', let alone save one until 2010 until it gets to Optimum Drinking Age!

Both loaded fairly quickly for me but I preferred the 1st one.

Well, I am an Apple geek and I do prefer the 2nd one, so I guess you're right, OMA!

Damon, with the pictures being so dark, lighten up the background just a tad to dkgrey. Switch to Mosaic mode or Carousel mode to liven it up a bit.

Obviously for a photo subject like this where you're showing off a collection, the ability for outsiders to upload isn't very interesting. But how about for your concert galleries, wouldn't it be cool for other people who were at the same PJ show to be able to add their pics to your gallery?

I just upgraded to iLife '08, but you're right. That's sounds REAL cool. I'll do it with the other concerts too.

Funny you should mention that show. I found something interesting a few weeks ago. There was a guy taking pictures for the Seattle PI that night. I took a pic of him taking pictures and it's on my site.

Guess what, he did the same. I'm picture #16 (below). If you compare his pics and mine, you'll see we got a few of the same shots. The Seattle PI's story and gallery is here: Pearl Jam Show

Gotta love these seats! Right at the stage! I'll be in them for Rush, DMB, and Jack Johnson this year too. Selling them for Police though. That'll pay for the annual membership dues.

David,

Is there a way to make it default to those settings?

Steve, Stephen, and OMA, did you see the 2 links DVD put there? How do those work for you?

I don't know if there's a way to make them default to those settings from the top-level gallery, but you can shove it right into the URL for the individual album, as I've done in my links above.. look at the URLs for the how-to. So then just put links directly to the albums on your iWeb pages rather than pointing to the top-level gallery.

I find the top-level gallery worthless as it doesn't allow for any hierarchical structure, it's completely flat. So if you have more than just a few albums, it gets messy very quickly. You can then use the iWeb pages to manage the structure/hierarchy rather than depending on the gallery page.

Sorry I don't have any examples for you, I just recently tore down my .mac stuff for "remodeling" and haven't gotten around to putting anything out there.

I tried the Mosaic Mode, then cleared my cache and returned to the Regular Page. Regular Page was still noticeably faster.

Which of those wines has the most alcohol? Are any of them particularly good when mixed with 7-Up?

They're both slow. Oh, wait, mac.com, that's the problem... :D

Fingers, the SA stuff has a higher alcohol content overall, but if you get 7-Up anywhere near it we'll have to change your username..

NoFingers :eek:
