Only one work day left till turkey day! This evening I made some rather large updates to the genealogy databases. I’m not quite sure how I want to tackle the new PHP/MySQL genealogy database. I’ve come up with a preliminary database design and I’ll be playing around with that over the long weekend to see how best direction to take the project.

I haven’t completed the new site yet, but almost all the galleries are now database driven rather than static HTML pages. I’m using slightly different code on this site than the new one, because on infused.org I store all of the images (except the thumbnails) on pbase.com. On the new site, I will be hosting all the images. While modifying the code for this site, I found a few ways to streamline it and I’ll be replicating those changes to the new site also.

I’ve even started the rather arduous task of putting together a couple of real portfolios for the new site. It’s really hard to decide which photos should be in a portfolio and which shouldn’t. I think the first portfolio may be made up of the black & whites that I’ve done and which I haven’t added to this site.
