Introduction

Fancy sharing photos, but don't want any hassle at all? Then this is the program for you!

I want to get photos from my camera and with no effort have them available for friends and family to view, and this program achives that.
Once it has been set up, you should not need to touch it again!

* Resizes pictures as required for viewing, while still having the ability to download the originals for printing.
* Auto-thumbnails folders of pictures on request, which can be cached if required
* Works in all major browsers - tested on IE, Firefox, Opera and Safari.
* New folders indicated
* Auto-creates RSS Feed for new photos (tested with GoogleReader and Bloglines)
* Easily prevent folders from being shared
* Folders can be password protected
* Customisable log format - the default is the standard "combined log format" which can used by web server log analysers
* Easy to change log and feel with seperate CSS and front page files.
