I have reworked my artwork database on my website. With this new database, you can have a slideshow which fades, snowfalls , blends, shutters, etc in & out of images. I have colorized it, and will be adding more features to it soon.
***Here is my new database: http://liquefaction.rant-on.net/gallery/
What's so cool and interesting about this?
Well, I have taken into effect that I will host regular artist's in my database.
What does this mean for you?
This means, that say for example, a regular artist such as Naz, wishes to use my website as a launch-pad for his images, he is allowed, given my permission. He will have his own user name and password. His images will be COPYRIGHTED. Meaning if anyone is found using an image of his, given his permission, action will be taken(ISP or otherwise). He will have full protection over his images. All viewing users may use blending, slideshow effects, etc to enhance their viewing pleasure of the artist's work(s).
How does this work?
With your own user name and password, I will create a album for you. A album holds all images you like in that album(kind of like a folder holds files). All images are indexed and condensed. For example, Naz uploads his sig into his album, his sig will have a image previewed at about 150x150 pixels and the user can click on that "preview" to load the full image in a better view.
Even if the administrator(me), is not there, he can still upload images into the database and make his images still live. The only downside to this is, of course, if my server is down, so are your images.
Your images can also be commented on inside the gallery itself, meaning visitors surfing by, can comment on your artwork. No permissions needed.
Whats so good that I need to quit geocities or other free sites?
Well, for one thing, your images are always there, unless the server is down. You never get a busy signal, your images will load 90% of the time. Geocities doesnt do that. They hit about 20 users on one file, and its down for about 1 hour. With this, you get constant file hosting.
If you want a SIG to be hosted, simply email me at [email protected] and ask me if I can host your sig. Depending on how busy I am, I will debate if I want to host your sig.
What do I need?
Nothing -- Well, software wise...but actually:
-You must be a regular here at the forums. Meaning you must have at least 250 posts or higher to even be considered.
-You must have a respectable reputation. Meaning, you will not be considered if you have any bad record.
-No uploading of porn or malicious content or viruses. If these are found, your account is deleted and all images will be kept for use if need be.
-You must use the account frequently. This means at least once every 7 days unless I am notified. When you hit 6 days, you get a email confirmation telling you that you have 1 more day to become active. This way I do not use bandwidth up.
-You will NOT REMOTELY LINK THESE! If found out that you will, the account will be warned. If you chalk up to 5 warnings, your account is deleted, no questions asked.
Please remember, that this is to help make a showcase of sorts for the artist. Please be respectful, I already have Dakilla up and running, all he needs to do is log in with his user name and pw, make a album, and he's set to go.
If you have questions or problems, please reply here, or send me an email at [email protected].
