Photo Gallery Web Page

[e-mailsucks]

Hi all. I just finished watching Call For Help TV, and they showed how to create a Photo Gallery Web Page. It appears to be so simple. I don't know if you want me to post the step by step or to let you get started and just follow the questions. If anyone is interested just let me know how you want to learn it.

Brian :)

[kayser]

Brian- What we really want is for you to create one so we can all admire it!

[SCRAPPYGIRL]

Ditto Kaye, looking forward to seeing it Brian:D :D :D

[CarolLHB]

Get to work, Brian!:D

[e-mailsucks]

All right, all right, geez you guys. I just finished watching it on TV and I had a quick look at it before I posted this thread. It appears to be very simple to do. It does exactly the type of web page I was wondering, "how would I ever make something like that"? Heck, it's just point and click. I'm so surprised that Dave or Matt hasn't shown this on a video tutorial. If I had the equipment that Ray has, I'd make one for them :D . I have to call my ISP and find out what my web site is, since I made one but didn't write down the address :rolleyes: . Believe it or not, I used to know HTML way before the software came out for doing it quickly. I made my own website way back just using notepad and writing it out. OK, now I'm dating myself again. Soon as I have my Gallery done with the pictures in my existing gallery, I'll post the address.

Brian :)

[e-mailsucks]

OK, the Photoshop stuff is drop dead simple, it's the uploading to your website. That I have to do a little reading (geez I hate reading) on to see how to upload a folder to your website and have it do what you want it to do. It can't be that hard to do :rolleyes: .

Brian :)

[virgo1]

Brian,
I managed to get one page of the club's gallery live without knowing it. It's not finished. Now my hubby and I need to get a home page done.:rolleyes: Type this in for a look: madisongemandmineralclub.org. I have to go back to caption a couple photos and do a little rearanging.
Eva;)

[Wendy]

Hi Brian ...

Looking forward to seeing your new website :))

Wendy

[e-mailsucks]

:D Hi all, I'm so excited. I got it finished. I found a free FTP Software program, got my free web space from my ISP. Learned the new and easy FTP program and uploaded Photoshop Elements Web Gallery to my site. Here it is, sorry not many pictures, yet...

Brian,

Do you mean out of PSE? A webgallery made with PSE? I could make the movie if you want to. I would be glad to make it tomorrow, or perhaps this evening.

Let me know.

Ray

[Wendy]

Brian ...

Oh Wow ... I am impressed !! :)

Wendy

[e-mailsucks]

Ray, yes I made this page using PSE 3.0. It is so simple, just point and click. If I had kids they could do it :D . I think when I redo it, I'll make it a little smaller. The resolution on my monitor at home is very high and when I looked at it at work with a lower resolution monitor, yikes, a little large. Do mean to say you've got the technology at home to make a tutorial movie? That would be such a gift to the forum users. We'll talk later. Thanks Wendy. I'm happy with it for a first time. I'll get better as I go along.

Brian :)

[Wendy]

Brian ...

I keep saying that I will start my own web page ... when I do I will be asking you lots of questions :)

Wendy

[e-mailsucks]

Wendy, after all the help you've given me, I would be honored to help you in every way possible. Geez, I'd be helping the master :o .

Brian :)

[Wendy]

Brian ...

:) :)

Wendy

[Carbone]

Yes, I do have the means to make tutorial movies (with my own voice, no matter how horrible it sounds!!)

Ray

[e-mailsucks]

Ray, we'll be partners on this project. I'll write the script and you do the video & acting. We'll make millions, or we'll just have fun doing it :p . Do you mean to say that you didn't know that Elements allows you to make a Web Page by just clicking on a few buttons? I'll have to figure out how to do it on a Mac that I don't have, but I think I can still remember from Call For Help TV. Kerria and I are going to Calgary this Saturday to Red Lobster. The TV has been advertising them so much lately and I just need a Lobster fix. What I'll do is write you the step by step instructions and then when you're done playing, you can put it to video. How's that sound to you? Hey, I just got promoted to, "Frequent Contributor". I'm not a user anymore.

[Grant]

... I'm so excited. I got it finished.




Brian

An official welcome to cyber space and nurdism. Now you truly are one of us.

.

[virgo1]

Brian,
Real nice site you have made. I need your help.:confused:
Eva;)

[e-mailsucks]

Hey Grant, I'm happy to be in the club :p . Oh and thanks Eva, what ever help you need just let me know.

Brian :)

[jazzfisher]

Brian,
Very nice I might be bugging you with questions.

Eva,
Were those orbs on your mineral & gem website???????

[e-mailsucks]

Sherry, it's so simple, you won't believe it, honest. I'll help you all I can, if you send me a lemon :D . Only kidding...

Brian :)

[jazzfisher]

Brian,
We have so many lemons-the tree is falling over--we have hockey sticks holding it up. (John played ice hockey--cause he's from upstate NY)

[Norm F]

Brian,

Good job on the website. PSE does do a pretty slick job.

You've had months of photography lessons and now you have your own photo gallery. What are the chances that we may see some of your photos at some point? :D

[jazzfisher]

Norm,
Good one !!! Yeah, Brian lets see some of your photos!!!!:D

[willpresley]

Very Nice Brian!!! I especially love the picture of the dog:)

[e-mailsucks]

Norm, don't start encouraging Sherry, that's all I need :rolleyes: . I took one this morning of one of my Kitties and I'm just going to download it from my camera and see how it turned out. Then I'll have to edit my gallery and all that stuff. Should have it done before the weekends over. I'm going to see if Ray wants to do the movie tonight. Thanks Will, we love him.

Brian :)

[virgo1]

Sherry,
Yes, I did use some orbs. Why not, they started as rocks.:D I need to caption one pic, the flint knapping demonstration.
Norm,
If your waiting to see Brian's photos, I hope your not holding your breath.:D
Eva;)

[e-mailsucks]

Eva :eek: , I'm somewhat trying the best I can. I like the one I took of the Kitty this morning. It came out quite nice. Kerria saw it and thought it was nice, but she said since the faucet is a little dirty, don't put it in the gallery. I think I will any way and I just won't tell her :p . I'm off to give Ray my instructions on doing your own Web Gallery, so you all can see how absolutely easy it is.

Brian :)

[virgo1]

Brian,
Does your cat like to play in the sink too. Ours always wants the water in the bathroom sink turned on. She beat me in there.:D
Eva;)

[Carbone]

Brian,

That's an excellent idea! This way, we'll spare the entire community of my bad voice and monstrous French accent :D :D

I knew about the Web galleries, I've used them before. If you do the Web gallery from the Editor, than the principle is the same. If you do it from the Organizer, I'll have to "translate".

Ray

[e-mailsucks]

Ray, I'm typing it out as we speak. Since you know how to do it from the Editor, I will give you the how to's from the Organizer. Eva, this cat loves water. She is amazed by it. We sometimes turn it on a bit to make it drip and she can watch if forever.

Brian :)

[Grant]

This way, we'll spare the entire community of my bad voice and monstrous French accent



Once again I have to take Ray to task. Take it from Ray has a very nice speaking voice and the accent would melt most woman's hearts.

.

[Carbone]

Grant, you're lying.

But that's ok, keep at it, it's good for my ego :)

Ray

[e-mailsucks]

Ray, I just finished emailing you the directions. Look it over and see what you can do. Let me know. I'm going to try and put kitty in my gallery now and then go watch King Kong.

Brian :)

[Carbone]

Got it Brian! I'll work on this tomorrow morning.

Ray

[e-mailsucks]

Thanks Ray, I sent another email because I had called my FTP program the wrong name. Eva, check out my website again, my kitty is in it. Don't look too close at the dirty tap. On second thought, you could make a comment about the dirty tap and I'll let Kerria read it :D :D . That would be fun.

Brian :)

[Norm F]

Nice job Brian! Thanks.

[jazzfisher]

Brian,
the faucet doesn't appear to be "dirty"so tell Keria it's fine. My cat Beano--loved sleeping/sitting in the sink like that!
My "new" cat Kuki loves water--bathtub, refridge(water spout)--she loves to watch it.

Ray,
I wait with bated breath to hear your French accent (ala Pink Panther):rolleyes:
Does Your dog bite???????
That's not my dog........:cool:

[Carbone]

Don't stress me too much... It's enough that I have to re-do my voicemail message over and over if only the shadow of a green plant listens to me :)

Ray

[CarolLHB]

Ray-stop it! You have a perfectly fine voice and a nifty accent! Besides, you're such a great guy we wouldn't care if you sounded like Harvey Firestein on crack!:D

[Wendy]

Brian ...

What a great photo and your cat is a gray too :)

My last cat Tassie was a pure gray ... the current one Tansy is a gray and white :)

Wendy

[Carbone]

Ok, here it is :

http://homepage.mac.com/carbmac/captures/web_gallery_with_PSE.mov.zip

It's a 25MB file, zip archive because the video is rather long (9 minutes).

Hope you'll enjoy and be patient, it may take a certain time to download at your end.

Also, if you want to see the final test project:

Ray

[e-mailsucks]

:eek: Excellent job Ray. You're a professional. I really liked it. I'm still not getting a Mac, but you sounded good and explained it very well. I hope the rest of the forum enjoys it. By the way, Nice Gallery.

Brian :)

[jazzfisher]

Ray & Brian,
I'm going to watch it now!!!

[Carbone]

Shucks.. I thought I would convert you ;)

Ray

[Norm F]

Awesome Ray!! Nice job on the movie. Thanks to you and Brian for the initiative.

I created a couple of these after Christmas. Do you guys happen to know if there's any way, within PSE to create a gallery index page from which you can link to several galleries?

[jazzfisher]

Ray,
That is a most excellent video!!!!! Your voice is very nice!!!
But I'm not getting a mac!
I'm going to have see if I can get/have web space so I can do this!! How exciting! Thanks to you & Brian!!!

[Carbone]

Norm,

If you know a bit of HTML, you could use the thumbnail link at the bottom as a way to open an external window with your own gallery. That's an idea.

Ray

[Carbone]

Thanks everyone :)

I hope you liked my own personal appearance.. :D :D

Ray

[Norm F]

Norm,

If you know a bit of HTML, you could use the thumbnail link at the bottom as a way to open an external window with your own gallery. That's an idea.

Ray

Excellent thought Ray. That hadn't occured to me but it would work. Thanks again!

[Norm F]

I hope you liked my own personal appearance.. :D :D

Ray

I think you were born (or downloaded, as the case may be) for this kind of thing. Explained very well, and a voice which is pleasant to listen to. Great job. You're a natural.

[Red Sky]

Most cool Ray. It's weird to hear the voice of a name you have seen for awhile. It makes it so personal. Thanks for being out there and for helping with all the questions posed. If you ever come out to the West Coast let me know. The Welcome Mat is out for you.

[Carbone]

Thanks everyone :)

Ray

[Carbone]

Steven, I've been (and still I'm) dreaming of visiting Vancouver, Victoria and other places in B.C. It is really a shame that travelling from east to west (and vice versa) is so expensive, whitin the same country.. :(

Thanks for the offer, though :)

Ray

[GaryK]

Great vid Ray

Thanks to both of you.

Ray

You look different than I expected :D :D

[Red Sky]

Ray- You never know what the future may bring. Drop a PM anytime. I'm 20 minutes to the border, less than 60 minutes to downtown Van. You don't mind cats, do you?

[GaryK]

Steven

My sis-inlaw must have lived near you .. sounds like her old location :D

I'm thinking she was in Surrey, but I can't remember if that was her town or if it was her district.:confused:

[Carbone]

Steven : I'll most certainly keep that in mind!

Gary : You should have seen me trying to get Clement (that the bear's name) in the camera. I was alone, so I had to hold the camera, look at the monitor and press start. At some point, I simply let my Mac record and I used Final Cut Express to edit out the bloopers :)

Tomorrow.. The Making Of.. LOL!!

(not serious)

Ray

[Red Sky]

Hi Gary- Your invited too. I don't want to seem like an exclusionist! Seriously though, have any of the online partisipants ever met? I feel that my casual contacts with those at this site are more welcome into my world than those I physically work or deal with. I probably will never meet anyone on this forum but I like to keep it open that I could. You feel you get to know someone based upon their postings and you can't help but feel hostpitable towards them. BTW, I'm on the States side but I know well of Surrey BC. A local ethnocentric joke goes, "What River seperates India from China?" The answer is The Frasier River (a river through lower BC which seperates a largely Indian/Chinese population.) Insert local laughter.

[GaryK]

Ray

I'm waiting for the directors cut, then I'll get the DVD :D :D .

Steven

I'll bounce that one off my sis-inlaw... might be seeing her Sunday.

I'm probabably within a 2 hour drive of half a dozen fairly active forum members.. I think they hide when I come around :D :D

[raffy]

That was a great video,Ray!And I had no idea of how un-bearably talented you are!Super cool!(And if I ever win the lottery,I'm going Mac!):D

[CarolLHB]

Just finished watching, Ray-awesome job!:)

[Carbone]

Steven,

The fact that we choose to be here and that we share a common interest (and lately I discovered that I had much more common points with certain individuals!!)

However, keep in mind (not to burst your bubble), we come here showing our best. When we feel like killing someone, we usually don't show up. However, in the real world, like it or not, you have to show up at the office even when your mood is else where :)

Internet distorts perception, unfortunately. That said, I have a Canon camera and I'm a good person :D :D

Ray

[Carbone]

Gary.. I just got FCE (Final Cut Express) HD.. I could probably do a Widescreen edition as well ;)

Thanks Alice and Carol :)

Ray

[CarolLHB]

Ray-truer words were never spoken:D, I still have to go to work Monday!:p

Although I will say one thing about this particular forum-I've been here since last summer and it seems like most folks generally go out of their way to just be nice to one another-it'd be great if the world was a little more like our little corner...:rolleyes:

[Shari]

Absolutely incredible Ray. You really are a professional. You sound just like my cousins who live in Pierrefonds, Quebec. When I have more time - I will definitely try this. I have bookmarked your link. Thank you.
Shari

[Carbone]

Carol,

People sharing a hobby or special interest have usually a tendency of being very (if not overly) sympathetic to each other. That's great and makes for a very friendly place to spend time.

Things are totally different when people share a common commercial interest. Have a trip over the Adobe forums for Photoshop CS 2. An ocean of piranha.. :) They're ready to kill each other for the sole pleasure of releasing the pressure and stress of their own job... (that's, actually, their hobby... lol!)

Ray

[Carbone]

Shari (and others) : Don't bookmark this link, rather download and save the movie locally. I periodically remove stuff (to make room for newer files) and this could be deleted in 4 to 6 weeks.

Ray

[Red Sky]

Ray- True, but I also work in the real world ( I haul trash) and meet folk from all walks of life. I can interact with a person who is a multi millionaire and a few minutes later meet a person living on the street. Who's the better person? Depends. But with 17 years of working on the street I feel I can get a pretty good fix on who a person is, whether it it a coworker, a customer or a person online. Am I right all the time? No, but who is? I like to read between the lines and I will take my chance with my personal judgement based on a feel. People on this forum past the test better than people I have physical contact with. I don't extend invitations at random,and I do not greet people with open arms. My wife says I'm a natural cynic and to a degree I agree; I do feel however that observing people's approach to the forum and posts offers no more or no less certainty to their character that a personal exposure can or cannot. Deception can occur with or without personal contact.

[Carbone]

Steven,

You're absolutely right, no one is better than the other. And, of course, deception can happen here (online) or in the real world.

Ray

[Red Sky]

Ray- You're still invited to stay here if you ever visit the West Coast. I have taken inventory on the guest room contents though!;)

[Carbone]

LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!
(your wife is right, you're cynical !!)

I will meet Carol, at the end of April, when she comes to Montreal with her son. You'll then have a first hand report on how bad I behave.. ;)

.. a Canon party.. !! woohoo!!!

Ray

[Red Sky]

Carol- Be sure and file your report so I can delete my posts if needed!

[virgo1]

Steven,
I have thought a North American gathering could be organized some day. Skip details for now except a somewhat central location. It would be a good time.
Ray,
I just got home and haven't had a chance to watch your First Edition. I am looking forward to it in the morning.
Eva;)

[mel]

I just finished watching Ray (you are handsome aren't you :D ) Excellent video and you made it seem so easy :)

Thanks to both you and Brian for taking the time to put this together for all of us to learn from.....I know everyone really appreciates it ;)

[raffy]

HI,Brian!I just had a chance to visit the whole thread!I love your kitties!How old,and what are their names?
Also,thanks for the help,both you and Ray ,with the webgallery info.Could you tell me the name of your ftp program,and how you use one?
Like Wendy,I want to have a website,but haven't gotten to it.(Unlike Wendy,I'm a bit chicken-I'm sure I'd crash the server on my 1st try.):eek:

[Wendy]

Hey that Video is great ... and so nice to hear Ray at last :)

Wendy

[Carbone]

Thanks everyone :)

Alice : the ftp program on my Macintosh is Transmit. On the PC, Brian is using FTP Commander.

Ray

[Grant]

And ... joy of joys ... Transmit is Universal Binary.

For the PC I us and am very happy with WS_FTP Pro, a commercial but very powerful tool, and WinSCP3 an extremely powerful freeware but a rather complex little beast.

I should point out that if you do a Google you will find a bazillion FTP programs out there for both platforms.

[Norm F]

Windows users can also use Internet Explorer as an ftp program. You'll need to get some instructions (ftp address, username, password) from your web host, but it's fairly simple to use.

You put the ftp address in the IE address bar. ie. ftp://ftp.mydomainname.com

A username and password window will open. Enter them and click ok.

You end up in a window that looks just like a folder on your hard drive. From here, you can drag anything from your hard drive to the ftp folder.

For those that prefer not to work in a "Windows" like environment, CuteFTP from GlobalScape is an excellent little program which is pretty affordable and easy to use. www.cuteftp.com

[Grant]

Ray congratulations on a very fine instructional video. My only question is , based on the opening shots of you, are you growing a beard?

I would also like to do Videos but unfortunately Snapz Pro is not Intel compatible.:(

.

[raffy]

Hi,guys!Thanks for the help with ftp servers.I just signed up with Cute ftp-now to get some webspace!

[e-mailsucks]

Sorry for getting to this thread so late Alice. I forgot about daylight savings. I use FTP Commander simply because it's free for starters, and my ISP support staff use it as well. If I have any problems help is just a call away. As for my kitties, the small one is Ash and the larger one is Char. That's pronounced Shar. Kerria picked that because she's the color of Charcoal. We're not very creative in our pet names, sorry. We love your kitties name. How do people come up with these pet names. We're extremely traditional when it comes to naming pets. Next time we get a cat or dog, I'm coming here for idea's.

Brian :)

[Juergen D]

Very nice video, Ray, very well done! Congrats from here, too.

As far as FTP goes, I have been using WS_FTP LE for years. It used to be free (through one of my ISPs?). Just recently I found Core FTP LE, which is free (Windows only), http://www.coreftp.com/. I really like it.

Juergen

[Jodi Frye]

Hey Juergen, as well I have been using WS_FTP LE ...Ipswitch I think...glad i got it when it was still free. Thanks for posting the link to another freebie ! This will help many and I now have it bookmarked for future user inquiries.

[Carbone]

Thanks everyone :)

Grant... LOL on the bear :)
If you want something shot on video, let me know, I can help.

Ray

[raffy]

Thanks,Brian!As re:cat names,I figure as long as they come when called (!?!),it doesn't matter.Although I've heard the saying:"A dog will come when he's called;a cat will ask you to leave a message,and he'll get back to you."
Raffy started out as "Raffles",after the gentleman burglar of the same name.Chumley came from P.G.Wodehouse,and Tuppy came from Wodehouse,too.Tuppy is an English nickname,but I don't know what it's short for.
When I hear or see a neat name,I earmark it for a future cat.It took 3 years before I was able to use Chumley.
Waaay too much info?! Thanks,again!

[Carbone]

For Windows users having questions about FTP Commander, I made a short movie. No talkie this time (I had a friend comming over this afternoon and now my voice is weak), but there's a soundtrack nonetheless!

http://homepage.mac.com/carbmac/captures/ftp_commander.mov

It's 9.5 MB (the guy is learning to keep things small !!)

Enjoy ;)

Ray

[jazzfisher]

WoW!!!
I got no email notifications all day yesterday!!!--I hate missing 7 pages on a thread!!!
Ray,
I have to go watch the movie again---I did not see you!:D

[Carbone]

Movie 1 : there's a little of me behind it :)
Movie 2 : I'm not in there at all

Hope this clarifies :)

Ray

[jazzfisher]

Ray,
I wa talking about the first movie---I'm way behind...playing catch up today.:)

[MikeH]

Me too.. somehow I missed the first video...

Mike

[jazzfisher]

Mike,
I did watch the first video--just didn't see Ray. But I noticed when it started it sort just jumped right in--so I'll have to watch it again tonight.:)

[virgo1]

Sherry,
I have to watch it over, too tired to pay attention last night. :o
Eva

[jazzfisher]

Eva,
Did you do some special this weekend--or just general tiredness??:D

[virgo1]

Sherry,
We did something special. We were invited to the Wunk Sheek Spring Traditional Pow-Wow held on Saturday. I didn't bring the camera cus I intended to dance and I danced every Intertribal. It was indoors and the lighting was crummy. We will get to some outdoor ones this summer and take pics. This went on 'til 10pm so I wuz wore out yesterday.:)
Eva;)

[jazzfisher]

Eva,
You dancing fool, you!!!!:D
