Greetings -
This entry is a little more technical in nature. So you have a web site and a place to host your picts of your friends and family… or perhaps your baby (imagine that!). As it turns out your host uses Active Server Pages (ASP) for scripting. The following script is a free that we wrote for just that purpose, the ASP Photo Album. It also contains a couple ImageReady Droplets so that you can automate the process of re-sizing images and creating thumbnail versions of your images.

See the photo album example…

Here’s how it works
Place the files in the directory that contains your images. By default the scripts looks for images ending in -01.jpg and displays those as thumbnails (e.g. Family-01.jpg). When you click on the image it looks for the file it will display the full size image (e.g. Family.jpg). Why the -01.jpg you ask? Because it is easy to batch process a directory full of images in ImageReady or Photoshop to make thumbnails. Batch processing scripts are included in the download, so if you have ImageReady you are set.

For more information on ImageReady batch processing see the included Readme.txt. ImageReady not included (sorry!).
