Hundreds of new pictures
March 24th, 2008
Work on the new gallery went well over the weekend. The interface is starting to come together, and I managed to sort through a huge amount of my images. There are now over 1400 images up in the gallery! This includes a lot of “new” stuff (from the last year, since I never really added to the experimental gallery), as well as a good number of older images, too.
That’s a lot of pictures, and I might pare that number down, especially as I try to strike the balance between showing off as many images as I can and keeping the clutter down so people can easily find the interesting stuff.
Since the gallery is now organized into a style/theme/subject-based hierarchy, I spent most of my time sorting them. That was hard. I find a lot of the images tend to straddle the line between two or more categories. In the end, I tried not to get too bogged down and just made quick decisions, so you’ll probably see a few that aren’t quite right.
There’s still a fair bit I want to do, including:
-Snazz up the interface a bit more — I’d really like the bottom scroller to follow along if you are using the top or image link to move through the album
-Tidy up the HTML/CSS
-Get it working better in IE. It looks and works *way* batter in FireFox at the moment. IE sucks. Right now the bottom scroller looks awful in IE, and hops up in down as the active image changes. Hopefully I can get it all pretty and nice like it looks in FireFox.
-Evaluate the album sizes. I think it’s still on the slow side, so less images in each album may be the fix if I can’t find better ways to speed it up.
Anywho, if you haven’t looked at the gallery since last night, please have a browse, or at the very least check out the Showcase albums to see some of my favourite images.
Any and all feedback is welcome!
