Last October when Hostmonster moved my site from one of thier smaller servers to the new hardware, they somehow screwed up my photo site.  I finally got some time and moved the site as is to a new location and re-built it.  The software package I use is called Gallery.  I’m using version 2.3 which is quite stable and very nice.

Once I got everything back up, I re-imported my parents 488 photos.  The import process was able to read the pictures from the old site but I had to copy by hand all of the picture titles.  As you can guess, it took me hours to get them all.  I had the kids help and do a spot check to see if I missed anything.

I also need to get the 10,000+ photos on my Mac organized.  I’ve decided that the website, my Mac, and my new external NAS are all going to be one project.  Right now they are all located inside iPhoto 08.  I don’t like that they are all stored in one big bundle.  I also can’t nest them.  Nor can I adjust specific colors (I.E. red for dive photos).  This is a big limitation in my eyes.  To solve this I bought Aperture.
