There were well over a thousand pictures collected from the various digital cameras that joined our mission trip to New Orleans this year. A few times during the week, I gathered up everyone’s cameras and compiled short slide shows.

Once we got home, it was my job to take all the huge, uncompressed, unedited image files that we’d collected and serve them up so everyone could download their favorites. Fortunately, BlueHost offers some really cool image gallery applications for free. (Along with oodles of storage space and unlimited bandwidth!!) I installed Coppermine.

Once I got all 5 gigs uploaded, all I had to do whats point Coppermine to the directory containing the images and it auto-magically created scaled down thumbnail and preview images. Awesome!
