Thanks for that - mind letting me know what you think of it when you get the chance? If it's as good as it looks I might be able to find space for it in a software section. And yeah, Flickr's part of yahoo now. I think the reason it's OK for me is because I use it as a glorified photo album, rather than anything else - although I tag things that's just for me, rather than for wider consumption.

I just can't get my head round finding anything. I much prefer Yahoo!'s plain old methods (although they now own them, don't they?) A friend of mine that's beginning to get some photography gigs has asked me for some help with a site. I tried to find some blogging software that would do the trick without he need for a database backend. And, with minimal hosting costs - seeing as it would be very image heavy. I came across <a href="http://scooch.gr0w.com/" rel="nofollow">Scooch</a>, a lovely piece of freeware (at least it looks it maybe my tune will change when I try to use it). And, my reckoning is with a few minutes dial up to our old friends Freeola we've got unlimited galleries for no pennies. I’ve always had a really terrible time with Flickr.
