oh.
check into JAlbum, which builds albums -ahead- of time, and uploads them
as static HTML + thumbnails + 'slides' + optional originals... it has
100s of templates for different visual themes, many of which are fairly
interactive (usuing browser-side javascript)
By doing all the resizing and stuff in advance, you greatly alleviate
the workload on the server.
