Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Website Update

To tryout Jon's new project format, I migrated the R300 project with fabrication pictures from the Frappr site. For anyone wanting to document their project on psubs.org/projects, the tools Jon has included work great.

Thanks Jon for adding this feature to Psubs.org.

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Website Update

Hello psubbers,

Happy New Year to you all.

As part of our continuing effort to modernize and update the website, the
Projects Page (http://www.psubs.org/projects) on PSUBS.ORG is now available
to anyone who would like an alternative to using FRAPPR or MOKI PICTURE
EXCHANGE when sharing photos of your submersible or other related projects.

There are two formats that we are currently providing. The first is a page
that links to an external web site if you are already using FRAPPR or some
other web service. For an example of this format, go to
http://www.psubs.org/projects and click on the "Dean Ackman" or "Frank
Dalgleish" links. All you need to do to implement this style is to send me
an email with a link to your external site and we will create your PSUBS
project page for you.

The second format is for those of you who need an easy-to-use mechanism to
display your photos directly on the PSUBS server. For this format we have
developed a password protected administration area that includes a
user-interface which allows you to:
- Upload photos (jpg format only)
- Create a project description and include specs.
- Sequence your photos in the order you want them displayed
- Add captions to your photos
- Remove photos that you no longer want posted
The resulting web page contains thumbnail photos on the left side that
download quickly and allow people to scan for an image that interests them.
Clicking on the thumbnail image displays a large image on the right side
along with an optional caption for detailed descriptions of each particular
photo. For an example of this format, go to http://www.psubs.org/projects
and click on the "Hryhorcoff", "Langford", or "Bartsch" links. The only
hard restriction we have is that photos must be in JPG format, which
shouldn't be an issue for anyone with an electronic camera. Our software
automatically resizes the photos you upload so that they fit appropriately
on our web pages.

This is a free service from PSUBS. To get started with your own project
page, simply send me an email.

Jon
