I plan to add some pics to the website.

Does anyone have any recommendations for how best to go about this? At the simplest level, I could just have a massive page with loads of pictures on it. But I'd prefer to have a hierarchy of description, then thumbnail, then full-size picture. Anyone been through this pain before?

Griff old chap, where are you...?

Here I am at last!! I have taken a bit of a sabbattical of late. Photo gallery solutions are many and varied. Being in the photo business, I have tried a few of them.

MS FrontPage has a tool but I didn't like it very much.

Adobe PhotoShop has a tool which I do like. You can tinker with the html to alter the template to your own look and feel.

Fotopic.net is my current fave. You sign up for a free account and they host your pics in galleries/collections. Again you can tinker a bit and create a web gallery that looks like your own site. There's a lot of server-side functionality which means that, once you've got your gallery looking RC stylee, you simply ftp/java upload/email your pix and, with a little more input, your gallery is done. They give you 250mb of space too. That's a lot of web-optimized photos.

Andy, if you come to my place for the Hogweed Trot, I'll show you how good it is using my account.
