Pictures, Pictures Everywhere

I notice I’ve got a lot of pictures online – some are available from this site, some not; several different methods of viewing them. Bah. Photos also seem to be in the more popular items on my pages. Need to unify and organizize.

justfred/pictures.php (new php)
pictures.php (just an index to pix)
pix (old manually created pages)

I think I like the interface for the justfred/pictures.php page – it saves the picture information in a database (as opposed to just sitting in an html, or in a text or excel file – and I can edit the titles and descriptions – there’s still some work to be done, since (as you may have noticed) the next/previous buttons don’t do anything.

I’m also still not sure of some things, like should I allow picures to be in multiple albums? It makes programming harder, but it’s easier to tell a story – of course I could also just have multiple copies of pictures if and as necessary. Goes against the database designer’s ethic (AKA Nth normal form) but will probably work better.
