My own photo pages use my own custom awk script for formatting. It works reasonably well for my purposes, but I do need to do something about the teensy control icons someday! The same interface has an "edit mode" (grayed out for you folks) for adding/changing comments and photo sequences and rotations etc..

Probably a little clumsy to replicate on another server at present, but I may work on the portability aspect soon.

Cheers
