Hi all i have a quick question that you will hopefully be able to help me with.

Currently I run a little fun website for me and my friends to display all the photos myself and friends take in the surf with our waterproof cameras of surfing and bodyboarding as well as many other photos such as from parties etc. This all started from when i got sick of sending individual photos over msn to people and thought i would make it easy for people to look at all my photos whenever they wanted.

The problem is that up until now i have be making the photo gallery myself by first making copies of every photo and resizing it down as a thumbnail. then linking each thumbnail to the large photo. and then following that linking each corresponding forward and back arrow for each page.

I have no problem with this its just it takes physically hours to complete a new photo upload and i have been found i have been falling back in the updates because i just dont have the time.

My question to you is do you know of any other method of doing this. I am sure there must be an easier way through some form of script, addon, program etc. I see plenty of other sites and blogs with photo galleries and am pretty sure that those people do not add and do everything individually. Also is it still possible to put a comment or name of the photo under each thumbnail.

Thanks for your time and sorry I made this post go so long it just thought a better explanation might save more questions later.

Thanks
