I occasionally post them inline in the blog, but it's a bit of a pain to get them there.  I sometimes use iPhoto's export-to-web feature to put up a set of photos for a small group of people (like the people who are in the photos), but the layout and UI aren't very appealing.<\/p>\n<p>I've heard good things about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/\">Flickr<\/a>, but haven't tried it yet&#8212;and I'm not sure I like the focus on a stream of photos or the ad-hoc categorization\/labeling system.  (I still need to work out a good set of metadata and a good categorization system for use with iPhoto.  The desktop photo software Kam uses, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iview-multimedia.com\/\">iView MediaPro<\/a>, apparently allows you to create your own metadata tags, a more comprehensive system than iPhoto's, but I think iPhoto does enough of what I want that I'm going to stick with it for now.)<\/p>\n<p>I keep meaning to install <a href=\"http:\/\/gallery.menalto.com\/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=index\">Gallery<\/a> on my site and try it out, but haven't done so yet.  Kam likes <a href=\"http:\/\/www.smugmug.com\/\">smugmug<\/a> (which I think she was introduced to by Ling); I like it in general, but I'm not quite convinced it's exactly what I'm looking for. I suppose I should try it.  (See <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/logos\/journal\/show-entry.php?Entry_ID=2523\">an earlier entry<\/a> for links to some of my favorites of Kam's photos that are online there.)<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the features I want, in no particular order:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Easy to use.<\/li>\n<li>Produces attractive web pages.<\/li>\n<li>Fast\/easy to upload photos to it.<\/li>\n<li>Some kind of categorization system.<\/li>\n<li>A way to password-protect a group of photos, so I can show photos to their subjects before making them public.<\/li>\n<li>Ideally, a way to unprotect one photo at a time from a protected group, so as I get permissions I can easily make them public.<\/li>\n<li>Low-cost or free.<\/li>\n<li>Can display one or more small images at a time, with links to larger images, and ideally links to full-resolution images.  Even better, a way for the visitor to click checkboxes next to a set of thumbnails and batch-download a set of medium- or full-resolution versions all at once.<\/li>\n<li>In the really ideal world, it would be hosted in my own kith.org account rather than at a hosting service. (Though there are advantages to hosting services, and I'm not entirely opposed to using one.)<\/li>\n<li>No obtrusive ads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What do y'all use?<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I still haven&#8217;t found a good system for posting photos online.
