hrm…slideshow would be a nice feature. One where you can play with the fade/flip, window size, and add hyperlinks to the photos.

ScriptOcean has a good javascript one, unfortunately I have been trying for days to get it to work on my Homestead site but with no luck.

I see that you have been looking at my Photogallery page… but nothing was there because I cannot use it.

I have however added a Screen Print of the Preview to the Photogallery page now… so that you can see it.

Please look quickly because it isn’t good!

Anne.

I like the presentation of the photos,
BUT:
1. The heads and feet of my dolls are cut off… They look silly!
2. And my copyright statement is missing from the bottom of the photos!
3. I would like captions displayed permanently underneath the photos.
4. I would like control over font type and size (etc) for the captions.

Nice feature! Thanks for your development efforts. Just added it to our site (www.krislund.org) today and it should add a lot of value for parents who want to see pics of their kids at camp.

I’ve been using homestead since it was free. I started I think 2001. It’s a great site and yes I would like to see more features.

I would like to know if you have any way of securing your photos from being taken and your videos from being downloaded. I don’t want anyone to steal my videos and reproduce them. I don’t want my pictures to be downloaded as well. I just want them to be viewed.

Thanks Homestead,

Aside from the glitches, this feature is a huge improvement. Can’t wait to make use of it. The only feedback I’d give is to make the text subtitles larger, or variable. Sometimes it seems hard to read.

Thanks for all your hard work, David.

I must say the new photo gallery is certainly an improvement over the previous one. But After reading some of the comments about the pros and cons and trouble using it. I have another option to display your photo’s.

you can view a display here: http://www.ssheatingcooling.com/Services2.html

If any one is interested in this option contact me through my other web site.
