- At least, I think it's Graham. I get confused.

I was curious as to how the ‘gallery’ function worked, after seeing Brenda’s beautiful collection of images called ‘Fence‘. Most of these images are of the time that myself and the other people from the Waygood’s Radio Club.
For a long time, I had a website under the alias petehindle.textdriven.com, which suited me fine. I love the written word, and I like to do a lot of things with computers that really rely on having a firm grip on the power of the written word. Hence, I felt, having the word ‘textdriven’ really let other people know that I was going to be writing.
But I know that some people are not as word-oriented as I am. Topsy, for instance, really functions as a visual person, and I have to wonder if perhaps I should include more of my cameraphone wanderings within my blog-posts.
Yes, more photos!
I make and ftp my galleries in Lightroom, and just link them to one photo on the WP install. The WP gallery function is a bit clunky, but I hope there are better versions coming.
My host server is broken again, argh. Probably need to buy some more. Any suggestions?
Interesting that you are using Lightroom: I’ve heard really good things about the gallery function in the new, online version of Adobe Photoshop. Maybe some of the same technology is involved.
If you are asking about what server to buy, I have to plead ignorance… sorry! However, I’m hosted on Joyent, and other hosting companies that I looked at included Media Temple and another company called A(something, which I’ve forgotten but was a number between 2 and 10) hosting.
