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.
