Above you can get an idea of how I want to do things
I'm not gonna get to involved in stats right now, but I think they can really be beneficial if you track what images are getting clicked the most and you can use that as your thumbnail preview.
I'm also thinking of doing a traffic script down the road. I wanted something that i can use for 'babe' type sites where you exchange galleries and for just normal link exchanging processes. But I'm wondering if thats just a waste of time and If I can just buy something really good instead. |
Hey,
I have not used any programs to produce my site other than a microsoft expression one to reduce all the pics and the gimp to create others, the original ones i did using the gimp then bulked them up and ran them through an auto function to reduce them by the hundreds for the portrait ones , the landscape photos i have done their thumbnail by hand. I can code the images to auto thumbnail but it increases the server load for something which would be a fixed size. (although i could get it to auto create the thumbnail on first viewing and then use that file :D)
The whole script is very light weight with not a lot to it, I have been coding for a while and scripted it all by hand, I don't have much experience within the industry but I am willing to learn and know a few quick security fixes to drop into my code, I have it all running off mysql and very small php scripts with mod_rewrite doing a lot of the front end linking and making it look pretty, I'm a fan of pretty linking so you will notice not a single external link will show it's true destination it's run through a quick redirect script which could have stats added very quickly so you could see which models links were being clicked the most.
If you are around when I get back from college I will catch you on icq, I have accepted your request.
Rob
