Art Gallery Online!

Sunday · 17 Sep 06 · 05:07 PM IST | Posted by Karthik | Category: Art

I spent most of yesterday working on the Art Gallery for my site, and I am very pleased to announce that it is now operational! Have a look here, there are currently 34 pictures available, featuring works done from 1994 to present!

Some time ago, Tobias Münch mentioned the launch of my site on his kotogoto. And he mentioned that I took the comments system "to the next level" with the features I had added. Well, when I was coding this Art Gallery, I thought, why not apply that principle here as well? So there are two new features that set this system apart from what was there previously.

Firstly, you'll notice that you can add comments on any drawing of mine! This is possible because I wrote the code to show/accept comments in such a way that it can be "plugged in" to any section of the site.

Secondly (and this is one feature I am really proud of), when you click on a link to view a piece of art, the image will be intelligently resampled to fit on the page! This is accomplished using PHP's image handling functions based on the GD library.

So go ahead, visit the Art Gallery, check out the new features, and feel free to add comments where you see fit!

Uhm... I think you haven't yet solved the problem with the "comment form", since its text is still a mess! :P
