Yo Captain! (ex-nick of mine)

So that will never be found because fred and I, well, his wife will
tell you the whole story...

Just like a million other peeps I take pictures. I load em up in my mac
in iPhoto, make an album with the corresponding name and don't include
shats that were crappy. Export to a dir called images, filezilla to my
site. Use my little code to display on a page. I tried iWeb to make
pages, gallery databases done in php, and holy cow way to complicated.
Just easier to manage everything in directories by some kind of topic.

So is there a way for your exampe to happen?

Thanks for your input,
Ron
