Simply make a new directory and upload images. Then, run &#39;bi.php&#39; (build index) which is in your Photofolio folder on the server by loading it in your browser to create an XML index of all your images. Finally, load &#39;bt.php&#39; (build thumbnails) in your Photofolio folder to create thumbnails.</p> <p>PhotoFolio should work fine on any webserver that supports PHP 4.3 or higher with GD support. Actually, PHP is only required if you want to use the included scripts to create the XML list of images and thumbnails. You could certainly edit the xml and create thumbnails with some other tool and just upload them to the server. For those designers wanting to add commenting, if the server hosting the install supports the PHP EXIF extension, Photofolio will retrieve the &#39;comment&#39; field from the jpegs EXIF data.</p> <p><img src="http://www.websitemagazine.com/images/blog/photolio.gif" width="412" height="270" alt="" /></p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/aggbug.aspx?PostID=8475" width="1" height="1">web design portfolioPhotofoliohttp://www.websitemagazine.com/content/blogs/posts/archive/2009/05/04/design-portfolios-for-web-designers.aspxMon, 04 May 2009 14:45:00 GMT1e469e21-c924-44fa-a132-47b5d0a8ad47:8225Pete Prestipino8http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/blogs/posts/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=8225http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/blogs/posts/archive/2009/05/04/design-portfolios-for-web-designers.aspx#comments<hr /> <p>A web designer once told me that despite how much clients always appreciated her work, she was never actually satisfied with the design of her own site - a case of overthinking it, I guess. Fortunately, there are many interesting ways for Web designers showcase their work. The most common way currently is through the use of design portfolios. </p> <p>As you might guess, there are quite a few Web design portfolio solutions on the market. One that caught my attention this morning was <a href="http://myprofolio.sticktacular.com/">ProFolio</a>. </p> <p><a title="Profolio" href="http://myprofolio.sticktacular.com/" target="_blank">ProFolio</a> is built with HTML instead of Flash, so that search engines can add your portfolio to their indexes. It works in Firefox 2+, Internet Explorer 7+, or Safari. ProFolio is also easily customized, and extremely simple to install. However, it&rsquo;s <b>free for a limited time only</b>.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/aggbug.aspx?PostID=8225" width="1" height="1">web designweb design portfolioprofolio
