Please remember it's in it's beta phase.
Thanks,

I registered...I've yet to find the actual portfolio part of the site, though. When I click "Portfolios" in the menu it gives me a 404 not found:

404 Error Message:
Page Not Found on //www.dpportfolio.com
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We're sorry. The page you requested, //www.dpportfolio.com, doesn't exist on " My Digital Photography Portfolio "

Also, can't submit link:

"Bad arguments for API function "

Just being the typical ornery beta tester -

Link works now. But "Create your own" produces a
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/dpp/public_html/modules/photo/classes/User.php on line 155

Re: Weblinks.
Fixed that too...i think.

Re: API error, that should be fixed...

PostNuke! Woot! I am running a couple of them sites. Good stuff... although not without its challenges. PM if you need some help with it.

Here is my big PN site: allBowling.com

I have a few hundred registered users and about 500 visitors a day. Not bad considering I just launched the site a few months ago, eh?

It's a content management system... a website in a box... it has tons of built-in features that allow multiple folks to publish content. Lots of modules you can add like Forums, Galleries, Chat, etc... it's used to build online communities.

If that ain't too geek speakish for you.

Bam's right, all you have to know/learn is a little about mySQL databases (keeps track of the changes to the website) and a tiny bit about php (a programming language used mostly on the internet).

It's Open Source... basically free to use as long as you leave in some credits. No one gets paid to work on the code, there is no company. It's collaboratively written.

Download it. Host it anywhere that supports PHP and MySQL. It's a little tricky to setup but not hard. Read the documentation, tehre's lots of it.

Geocide - your site banner (logo) appears to be tiling on my 17" monitor. I see "Dig" at the far right of the page.

I was afraid of that. That's one of the hardest things to get right as a web designer, you never know what the view is view the webage on. Could be a 10" monitor or a 120" Projector. I'll work on that.
thanks again!

It's not actually the size of the monitor that matters, it's the screen resolution. You really should plan for every resoultion from 800x600 - 1600x1200... it's a pain... but not impossibe... there's some simple java that would forward the user to a different page based on their screen resolution... I used that for my personal blog... a lot of sites don't look good on 800x600 anymore (1024x768 really should be standard by now...) I try to make my sites look good for all the resolutions but it's a pain. The Java script for forwarding does make it a bit easier because you can make two different versions of the site and each person with whatever screen res they have sees teh right version taht fits their screen... Now there's other resolution like Widescreen ones... but those people are used to seeing webpages weird if they have their browser windows maximized... This really is the greatest challenge for the design part of a site... and testing for the various browsers, quite the pain.

Works really great except can't create my own portfolio! LOL

I like the ability to deep link - but how long do you expect to be able to provide this free?

Can you folks post a couple of links to decent intro materials on these programs for someone who knows basically how the web works but isn't a programmer?

I tested about everything I could without registering an account, and everything seems to be working fine -- I'm using AOL 6/Windows 2000/DSL/small monitor.

Good job. So what's your plan for charging/subsidizing this? If you're really going to let people post movies and stuff the storage and bandwidth costs will be ...

It wouldn't let you create your own portfolio? Did you register?

Well, i have a webhosting service that pays for a large amount of bandwidth, so i plan to keep it free as long as it stays below my current bandwidth. After that i'll probally work somthing out that undercuts the other similar services.
