Up until now in FP 2000 I've added photos by what I suppose is a
fairly pedestrian method. I just make tables and drag smallish images
or thumbnails across to the cells. I link the thumbnails to larger
versions of the images, and rely on users clicking a thumbnail and
then returning by using the back button. Here's an example from my
home site:
http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/terrypi...lkphotos04.htm

But what more effective ways are there to manage pictures please? I'm
thinking of something like the 'gallery' arrangement at this page
http://www.thamespathproject.co.uk/c...Stage=1&page=0

where the first thumbnail links to this photo
http://www.thamespathproject.co.uk/c...rge.asp?pic=14

but then you can browse through the rest. And there's a caption too,
which my method doesn't have.

Any suggestions would be appreciated please. What methods do other
more experienced FP users adopt?

I would second the recommendation of J-Album although I don't
know how this is going to work out with FP as it uses FTP to upload
images. I used it when I was still using Dreamweaver. Currently I'm
setting up Coppermine on a different domain and linking it into my
site. Coppermine uses a graphical library on the server called GD to
resize images on the fly. All images are store in a MySQL database. Of
course one should note that this is a UNIX program and I believe is
not available on Windows servers.

I could be wrong but I think you can just 'publish' the folder of JAlbum
stuff as you would with other FP items. I don't think you need to ftp per
se. Please let me know if I'm wrong!!

So you would publish the JAlbum to a local directory and then
use FP to publish to the web ? I think that might work but there may
also be certain difficulties as evidenced in the Jalbum forum.

Publish to a folder on your HD, then import that folder into your current open FP web / site, then
it will published with the rest of your content, or convert the folder to subweb / site and publish
independent of the root web.

Before spending much time with the other photo programs, I recommend
you at least try the FrontPage Photo Gallery. It is so easy and super
fast, and it works. I've used it for years and the only modification
is adding these words to the page with the photo gallery: "Click on an
image to enlarge".

Just remember to mark all your photos at once and create your gallery
and then click on the publish button and you are done.

Thanks Thomas. Reminds me that I often overlook the simple
solutions.

You import the entire folder that you generated the JAlbum into, into FP. Then Publish.

Just did another one with the XP skin...had a lot of pix in it...11 meg...no problemos.
