I'm having fun making a website that contains a gallery of some photos i've taken as well as some photoshop work. Would it be a good addition to include the exposure information from when i took the photo or is it waste of space?

At this point i'm open to all suggestions.

[link-> Still in the making]
It's decent, although I don't like the rollover gallery; that's a huge pain for scrolling. Don't include the exposure info.
I am quite new to CSS style sheets, so at the moment i don't know an alternative to this hover effect thing. Is there a way that i could make a gallery that would not require making seperate pages for each picture?

So, perhaps in a similar layout as it is now, except that you have to click the picture thumbnail instead of hovering over it.
I disagree, show the shutter and aperture at the very least.
BUMP! so does anybody know a goood way that i could show my work without making a seperate page for each picture? I could always make a page for 10-15 photos each, but....i have alot of them.
I want the pics to be at least 700px wide.

Sure, when the user clicks on a picture use some javascript to change the image. Show the image the same way you are now, just not with the lame mouse-over crap
I have come across a great website for Javascript tutorials. I'm sure that most of you are aquainted with this site, but for anyone like me that has no idea what javascript is, it's Heaven!
Here's the link:
JavaScript Tutorials

Once again, here is the link to my website:
OMGZORZ TEH BEST WEBSITE EVER!!!
My site is still in the development stage. ( Seriously, my bio doesn't even make sense!)
If you feel I need to add something or take something out that will improve the site, PM me or reply to this post.

[EDIT]
Also, does anybody know if I can "jump" to a certain image if I were to use a JavaScript "onclick" gallery?
If you haven't seen already, I have images in my home and bio section and they link directly to the gallery. I would want that click to lead to the same picture they clicked, but enlarged.

[EDIT 2]
Different version of the gallery
i know the last two images dont show up. they aren't supposed to.
How would i have the information about the shot come up? Like if i wanted to have a description of when i took it on the right.

Here is the code that i'm using. All i need not is for someone to tell me what to put where for thext to show up on the right of the enlarged image.


Code:

It looks ok, but still not great. The javascript functionality is fine, but that layout is very meh.
what do you suggest then?
At the moment, i know very little about JavaScript, so i don't know how i could tweak it.
Post some layout suggestions or something so that i can change it up.

Ill just keep on posting it. lol
Here's another thing, you're HTML-resizing the images for the thumbnails. No. Make actual thumbnails instead. Razz
I have found that the free webhosting on Freewebs.com is inadequate due to the limits on bandwidth per month, and the small storage space. I am creating a site using http://www.freetzi.com/ , which gives you unlimited bandwidth per month(5gb per day) 500mb of storage space.
What's the tradeoff? Do they have php support, databases, etc? How many ads do they put on your site?
Go to their site for more reliably/detailed information. They give you the option of eliminating all ads from the site for 1$ a month, or for free you can choose between banner ads and popups. The nice thing about freewebs is the editor and themes, where freetzi just gives you a link to a ftp client to load your files on. Freetzi has database support.
I have checked out Freetzi but I am more comfortable with Freewebs for now.
A problem has surfaced with my gallery. I uploaded thumbnails like Kerm said (good idea) but now when i click them, it takes a while before they actually show up. I have a feeling that it's because the large pictures aren't getting loaded up like they used to. Before, the thumbnails were the actual pictures re-sized to thumnail size, so the images were ready for use when clicked.
I know that i can add something in the head section of the code to opload the photos, but i'm not sure how.
Yeah, there's some Javascript to prefetch the large-sized images in the background. Just google a search string like preload image javascript or something.
So I have found the JavaScript image preload script and it seems to be working fine. Although it's an ok gallery, I can only have a limited amount of images loaded at a time. I looked around, and i found alot of sites that would create a gallery in JavaScript if I downloaded an application that would do it for me. I also found LightBox, but that doesn't interest me one bit. It's too much for just showing images.
Any way i can combine CSS and JavaScript together to make a better layout? This one's getting old already.
If I remember correctly about freewebs, I think you only get something like 50mb of bandwidth per month. Your bandwidth would be quickly used up with graphics, or even just text if there were alot of visitors...You can check how much bandwidth you have used so far in Freewebs somehow, I don't remember exactly how to access it though.
