The vast majority of the space used on www.edburdick.net is photos and a few videos.  Most of the photo albums are created using [http://jalbum.net/en/software jAlbum], a great program for creating web-based photo albums. jAlbum has a "skinnable" user interface, meaning that a wide variety of different album layouts and capabilities can be designed and implemented by users.  I used a skin called Matrix for a long time because it creates the illusion when you click on a thumbnail that the thumbnail just expands to fill the screen with your photo, and then allows you to easily start a slide show or go to the next or previous photo.  But more lately, with all of the small screen devices like smartphones and tablets, I spent some time searching for skins that do well with the "swiping" type user interface. I ended up with Turtle, maybe the oldest skin, but which has kept up very well. [http://edburdick.net/Picturelib/master-index/ Click here to see my photo site.]

My photo pages

The vast majority of the space used on www.edburdick.net is photos and a few videos. Most of the photo albums are created using jAlbum, a great program for creating web-based photo albums. jAlbum has a "skinnable" user interface, meaning that a wide variety of different album layouts and capabilities can be designed and implemented by users. I used a skin called Matrix for a long time because it creates the illusion when you click on a thumbnail that the thumbnail just expands to fill the screen with your photo, and then allows you to easily start a slide show or go to the next or previous photo. But more lately, with all of the small screen devices like smartphones and tablets, I spent some time searching for skins that do well with the "swiping" type user interface. I ended up with Turtle, maybe the oldest skin, but which has kept up very well. Click here to see my photo site.
