Web Authoring Software for Photo Sites |
|
|
I have for some time been contemplating putting together a web site with
some photo albums showing travel, photomicrography and miscellaneous
images. I have never written a web site before, and wondered what
program was considered the best to use for this. I have no particular
interest in learning HTML coding, I just want to put together a linked
collection of say 4-5 albums with thumbnails linked to larger jpgs to
display.
Any thoughts would be welcome. I have Frontpage 2000 and Dreamweaver 4 -
I know, both a little old - shows how long I have been putting it off!
To me, neither seem particularly intuitive to use.

Sounds like your project is pretty straightforward. FrontPage 2000 can
certainly do it, but it does have a number of confusing hurdles to overcome
before you become proficient.
If you'd like to try a 5-minute web gallery builder, there's JpegSizer. It
will resize your images for both thumbnails and "full-size" images, at the
same time as it generates the HTML pages for a web gallery. All you need to
specify is the headings etc on the web pages.
Free trial download at http://www.tangotools.com/jpegsizer/?s=ng
Hope this helps...

You may want to check out this site: http://www.nvu.com/
The program is free and they have Windows/Mac/Linux versions. I used Nvu in
Linux because it was the closest thing I could find to Dreamweaver MX. If
you can find a trial version of Dreamweaver MX, you may want to also check
it out. It is totally different than version 4, and in my opinion, much
easier to use.

Do you plan
to purchase some hosting from a services company? Or are you hoping to
utilitise the N-megabytes of free web space your ISP gives you?
My broadband ISP provider includes 20Mb of web space in the package, so
I figured I may as well use it.
Using a web hosting firm is the same effort as using your ISP. Just for $5
a month you can have a URL that is yours forever.

Well, for under $10/year, anyway.
www.godaddy.com
The $5/mo would be for someplace to put the domain to work for you.
And, at www.1and1.com, you can have a place on the web for under
$3.00/mo.
While I use Godaddy, I'm not a client of 1and1.com.
