Check it out...
There are still a couple of issues at present - the date the picture was taken is wrong, exposure time on the Coolpix is not calculated etc., but overall, quite pleased with it.
The entire site is just two web pages (Album & Image), there is - of course - a Style Sheet, and the rest of it is data. Once I have ironed out a couple more display issues, and added the rest of the caption files, it will be time to migrate a couple of other existing albums over to this site...
EDIT #1: The URL has now changed, the album page is now in it's own sub-domain at http://photoalbum.rockbox-themes.org/ A few minor cosmetic changes have been made, but to be honest, if you notice, you are paying *way* too much attention... Still Beta1
EDIT #2:One thing that was bugging me, was the 'Back To Album' link from the images pages, it always returned to the top of the page. I have fixed that now, it uses 'Named Anchors' for every image, so it can return back to whence it came...

Back from My Hols
I just realised, it's been almost a week since returning from Turkey, and I have not updated my blog!
Well, Holiday was good, took lots of photographs, broke the compact camera, and spent way too much money.
Since returning, I have been catching up on e-mails (personal and work related) editing almost 400 images down to my printable selecting of 133, and writing my own 'web album' page in PHP... It's almost ready now, so keep tuned for a peak in the next few days. It has taken quite a bit of work this time, but it's all very generic, and combined with a few Photoshop Actions to generate the thumbnails etc, should involve minimal work to add to the album list.
On the negative site, the car was vandalised on Thursday evening - the passenger side door mirrow was snapped off! £230 for a colour coded replacement!!
The Coolpix suffered damage when a large flying insect can past my ear, just as I was about to take a picture.. The resulting "snatched hand" motion caused the extended lens to hit my arm and become stuck. It is currently back with Jessops awaiting repair - hopefully under guarantee.
The D50 was not used as much, it was a bit too warm to carry the large camera about too often, but I have been very impressed by the quality on the images taken.
