Image galleries
Vineyard.NET is pleased to announce a new image gallery tool, free of charge for its customers [1], available immediately.
An image gallery is a special program that reads a directory containing image files and generates web pages for each, including navigation links (e.g. 'next', 'previous') and other meta-data associated with an image.
As well, an index page is created containing thumbnail sized versions of each image for easy viewing and browsing.
Galleries may also configured to scale each image in a variety of different sizes. This can be useful when you want to quickly browse a number of images (but where thumbnails are too small) and/or someone will be viewing them from a slow Internet connect where large image files would be a problem.
You may view an example of the gallery program on-line at http://www.retmier.com/galleries/nature-on-mv/
You can create a new image gallery using the create image gallery program. Galleries are available for use both with your personal or commercial websites.
