Web Album Generator 1.8.2

It seems that no matter where I look, I see a camera. Pretty much everyone and their grandma has a small digital camera or a mobile phone with a camera (even low spec ones have cameras) or a tablet that has a cameras as well. The point I am trying to make here is that it is now easier than ever to take a picture.

The question is: what will you do with all the pictures you snap? Will you delete them afterwards (as some of my friends do), will you store them in a folder on your computer and forget about them (as I sometimes do), or will you share them with others?

If you answered “I want to share them with others”, then you need to take a look at the Mark McIntyre-developed application Web Album Generator. This application, as its name so adequately points out, allows you to create photo albums that you can upload to your personal webpage or blog. You can create a photo album and then publish it to the web – this way all your friends and relatives and loved ones can see your pics.

To better put things in perspective, here are Web Album Generator’s main features:
- Creates all the HTML, JPEG thumbnails, and CSS for your online photo albums so you don’t have to worry about it. You only need to bring the photos you want to share, you don’t have to bring any programming skills to the table.
- Resize, rotate photos.
- Add titles and captions in any language.
- Drag and drop image support.
- Customizable photo album presentation.
- XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS 2.0 compliant.
