My web site is very simple, text and pix. So this 82 yo old fart can
usually maintain it himself. No php, no databasie stuff at all.
The closest to high level stuff is that the pix galleries were created
using jigl, so when you visit one of those pages, you get a screenfull
of thumbnails, clicking on one of them brings up a pretty compressed but
full screen image. Clicking on many of those a second time will get you
the original, straight out of the camera version of that image. Those
directories with mixed text & images are presented as a directory
listing, but you can click on an image and get it, or .pdf's and such
are offered for downloading when clicking on the directory entry.
Its a pretty "stable" site. If I add something, the link gets posted on
the mailing list that applies so folks interested in one of my cnc
machines will know about it, but I don't take out adds in the paper
about it.
