Finished all the coding for my new site image system. This was mostly completed last weekend, I had to integrate some of the other code from this site into it, like the stylesheet system. Now, I have an easy to use web interface for uploading images, it will create automatic thumbnails and favorite icons for all the images. I can then easily add the images to my site using PHP. It will then insert either the full image, or a thumbnail with a link to a preview page containing the full image. I did this for a couple reasons. For one, I never had to think about HTML when dealing with images on my site. Also, I never had to deal with using Irfanview to resize images before uploading. A bonus, since 90% of the traffic here comes from Google and MSN image searches, I can better control my revenue from that. I plan on some future enhancements such as auto watermarking images that are being hotlinked.
