Image Galleries and hosts


So I started using 000webhost.com, it's pretty good. What distinguishes it from other websites is the free PHP, MySQL, PHPmyadmin and so on

Now, the website url is hisfield.netau.net. It's kind of strange since i could have sworn that last week they had hisfieldfreeize.com. Oh well. I guess they just ran out of those.
Anyway, 000webhost allows you to upload the files which is really handy since i dont use an FTP.


Also, i started using ImageShack. I had heard from somewhere that image shack was the best image host for the job. It lets you store as many images as you want and allows mass uploading (which i abused quite happily)



So after all this was done and my brain was well rested, i started looking up image galleries

I first looked on this website to gain inspiration and then i remembered that i had already had some ideas sketched out in a notebook (this was really early on in the summer). By the way, i have recently aquired a scanner so i can now scan it.

So i looked at this website and did some drastic editing with code to change into this...when you hover over it, a slightly transparent black box appears. I plan to have the comment button appear there and a view comments button (which will result in a pop up window)
