Well, I did it! I’ve chosen a (for now) photo theme and have started uploading pics to my new photo site. It’s something that I’ve been planning on doing for the past couple of years but the idea of re-uploading the thousands of photos on my old Fotki site was just way too daunting. Meanwhile, I haven’t put anything new up on Fotki for ages because I knew I didn’t want to stay with it. So I was stuck! But I have now bitten the bullet and will – probably very slowly – start making the switch-over.
To start with I’m just randomly uploading albums and dating them from when they first appeared online. But I’m not sure about something. Should I have the thumbnails open up full-size on a separate page like they do on Parc Güell, with comments open on the main post? Or should I have it set up like on La Pedrera, where each thumbnail opens onto its own blog page with a clickable half-size photos, where comments can be left?
I think the first option is better, just to keep things simple, but I’d like to hear what you think. It’s not ideal as I would love people to have slideshow or scroll options to view the photos full-size, but maybe I’ll find a theme that allows that further down the line. Right now I just wanted to get started or I’ll never do it.

I like option 1 where you can see all the comments together rather than having to click on each photo to go to the comments (am Iunderstanding the options correctly?).
Love the Daredevil photos. I could almost imagine you’d asked him to pose for some of them! “Come on Loki, give me a roar. Lovely, that’s it, now hold it”. (Photo 14). Lokis is definitely the cutest cat in the world.

Yeah, I think having comments under each photo on a separate page would just get too screwy. The other thing I don’t like about that option is that the thumbnail opens with a medium-sized pic where you can leave a comment, but then you have to click again on the photo to see it full size (in this case 640×480 pixels). Too many clicks.
The “paws” chair game used to be one of Loki’s favourite until he got too big and then would knock the chair over. No posing involved. It was all I could do to get a photo that wasn’t all blurry (got plenty of those too).
Feel free to leave comments on the new photo blog too! (hint hint)

I think I prefer the option with all the comments on one page. The other one is an extra click to get a full size picture, and seems to give you two different places where there could be comments on the same picture.
