Updates to ankiewicz.com

I have updated ankiewicz.com using JAlbum, PHP, and mySQL. Alas, my custom database interface is no longer working on my Mac, but phpMyAdmin is not bad.

I have loaded new photos to the front page. I also made the entire gallery structure of the site less deep, so that a user can more quickly get to the large (pretty) photos. More galleries are directly accessible from the photos home page.

I still plan on rearranging the photos home page so that it displays links rather than a series of pictures. The way it was set up before, it was unclear how many pictures a person needed to click before they got the large view.

I also added a large number of custom redirects to my .htaccess file. Yay regular expressions search and replace!

I like the way my web pages look when the images are all the same size, but horizontal. However, I have a number of photos that I like that happen to be vertical. I’m not sure if they can be cropped horizontal and still look good.

It’s probably more worthwhile to spend my time labelling and describing the images.
