    Online gallery

    How do you display your photos online, except from this board? Flickr, private website?

    I was developing a gallery, but with too many exams etc. takes all of my time. So what do you suggest?

    I already have a deviantart account, but I don't know many people there so I don't use it much. I considered Flickr, but don't know if this is good or not, or which options exists? Or do you suggest that I download a freeware thing and host it on my server?

    Any feedback (and links to your galleries) appreciated

    This is in no way finished but I tried all sorts of gallery software and never really liked any of them. My approach now is - put all your photos on one page, style your img tag to display:block, give it a margin and add a css border. Usually a white boder works but on the following page I just use a grey border:

    I should really give these pics more of a bottom margin and align them etc.. but you get the idea.

    My thinking is - most people have broadband so having all those images on 1 page isn't an issue and, when they've loaded, the user doesn't have to click any javascript powered gallery app or anything..

    It's easy to update as well - just add your images and the css takes care of it.

    It might not be to everyone's taste but it suits my requirements.

    www.pixelpost.org is a nice option and plenty of already made templates to tweak to your liking. I have actually taken mine down for the time being as it was crap and got picked up by a spam bot so I get a **** load of spam comments a day so just make sure to add a captcha to your comments if you have them.

    I just use flickr right now and it is a great way to share and see others work but I don't think of it as a proper portfolio/gallery.
