Photo Galleries

On my photo site, Randal R. Ketchem Photography, I wrote all of my code by hand. All of the Perl CGI code to build many of the pages on the fly and all of the HTML. The Perl development was time consuming and if I want to change the functionality of my site I will have to recode much of the back end code. This is time that I could spend working on photography. What to do? I knew that Apple had released a new version of iLife which includes iWeb. Having written code for years by hand using Vim in Unix, though, I never bothered looking at any web page builder. Then I saw this post on Scott Kelby's blog pointing to Apple's new iWeb demo gallery. Wow. Move the slider on the lower right and the images resize on the fly. Try out the Carousel mode. Did I already say Wow? I do not yet have iLife '08, but I will, and I will be giving iWeb a demo of my own.
