Help From Web Building Experts

[Piobaire]

I could use a suggestion for a little website help. I just want to toss a bunch of jpg files into a directory, have a thumbnail page pop up, with links to the full size jpgs. Something nice and simple, drag and drop would be nice. Any of our resident experts have a hint on something I could d/l for free?

You have your own site? If not just use pbase or flickr... Lightroom will actually publish to a site and give you some very sleek flash as well. It's not free, but it's also awesome for editing/sorting your pictures.

Is this something for your own website that you run, or possibly host yourself? Would you want the end product to be an HTML page with <img/> tags to the thumbnails surrounded by links to full-sized images; such that you could zip-up the whole directory and drop it onto your server?

Or are you using some sort of hosted service, such as a blogging service (blogger, blogspot, etc.) and want to transfer a bunch of images at once?

If it's something just for yourself, have you considered using Flickr or Picasa or similar?

More info on your web server system/environment would help.

Have a couple domains with godaddy. Just a couple of placeholders, and I like having my own emails. I just want to be able to drop a few pages of HTML and the pile of pics into a directory and have done with it. I dropped them into a directory, hoping it would just list the jpgs, but this server does not seem to like that and wants at least an index. page.

A friend of mine used Gallery (original name, eh?). He was rather satisfied with it. AFAIK he used it in a similar manner to what you describe. The generated HTML pages looked nice and had simple nav through the images and the index page.

Look into Coppermine as well.
