[LUG] Photo blogs

[Neil Winchurst <barnaby@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Any digital camera users on the list? When I bought my camera some years 
ago now I decided to set up a photo blog. I didn't want the sort where 
you just register online and then you can start uploading photos. This 
sort of blog has your photos all mixed up with every one else's, 
although they are usually sorted into groups of some sort.

There was also the blog type where you have to set yourself up as a user 
first. This does mean that your photos are separate from others. But, in 
both types your pics are 'out there' somewhere, out of your control to 
some extent.

So I looked at the third blog type, which means that you have to have 
your own web site. You have to download the package onto your computer, 
unzip it or whatever to expand it and then upload it to your own 
website. This does mean that you are much more in control of things.

So I looked around and finally came up with pixelpost. This has worked 
very well for me so far. However, this week I realised that I had not 
had any updates or messages from them for a long time. On trying to open 
up their forum I found that it is no longer being supported. In fact 
there has been no activity for more than four years.

Well, that is no use to me or anyone. Eventually it will break. So 
finally to my question. Does anyone on the list have a recommendation 
for a photo blog program to replace pixelpost? I have come across 
zenphoto and piwigo while searching but there must be others.

Any help appreciated,

thanks

Neil
