Re: Online photo storage

Hello, Emily,

Three options that come readily to mind -- all are web
based.

The first is Gallery2 -- http://gallery.menalto.com/

You can also do this in a few different ways using
Drupal -- Drupal also offers automatic scaling
alongside retaining the original, so you can have the
mechanism to quickly load a smaller size image that
links to the original.

The third option is DAlbum, at http://www.dalbum.org/
-- this is the simplest solution, but DAlbum has been
around for years, and is a great application.

Cheers,

Bill
