Over the weekend I accomplished or got started on a couple projects that have been pililng up for a few umm, years.Â
First, I dug up my old website from before I was really aware of blogging. I used to handcode my personal website, journaling things we were doing, recording my thoughts and posting things I wanted to share. The site has been down for several years but in the centralization process I’ve been working on (moving everything to one server, etc) I wanted to put it back online. So, here is the link to the site. This link is to the section of that site that I now recognize as a Photo Blog. It was kind of fun going back through all that – I like blogging a lot more, it’s easier! 
 As for the new, I’ve been wanting to NOT keep all my photos on Flickr for several reasons, mostly because I’m not confident they’ll still be around in 10 years. But the convienence of it and all the features on it have kept me using it. I finally looked pretty carefully into Gallery2 which I had been meaning to do for a while. There are several features in it that were important to me such as being able to post pictures via email (I do this with my cell phone to flickr), being able to use tagging to organize and browse my pictures, rss feeds to albums and tagged albums, being able to customize everything and lots of other stuff. It’s acutally a very full featured picture hosting program. So over the weekend I got it set up and configured. There is still a lot of work that I want to do on it, but it’s coming along nicely. I haven’t skinned it the way I want it yet, that will come soon. Anyway, take a look at it if you like, there are a hundred or so pictures on it so far. It’s hosted on the site that will soon also host my new personal blog.
