It's open source and free. I've done some albums with it in the past. It's all automated.

Yes, the trial site is taking some time to get going. I would like some sort of album format for the pictures, but want something that will blend in well with the site and be easy to insert pictures. Right now I'm just putting the pics in and thumbnailing them down. Suggestions? D. PhotoMerchant…okay, I’ll keep in mind.

Smugmug is great to a point. The PhotoMerchant service we're nearly finished developing is quite similar except it's been designed from the ground up for photographers. :) (Keep it in mind) I like your "trial" site. It takes a bit of time to get these things off the ground doesn't it? - LOL Stay tuned for the next post. Daubs,

I've had a photos site up for a year now. Mainly just a site to post pictures for family and friends (photos.dougdaubert.com -- badly in need of a redesign. The new site is coming along -- trial.dougdaubert) I've thought about connecting to a smugmug (or similar) account so people can order prints if they would like. I get a lot of positive feedback from parents of kids on our teams. Web design, weddings, sports, event photography...call me Mr. multitasker :) Again, good post. Thanks for sharing. D.
