New web gadgets
I’ve been so busy for most of this year that I haven’t had much time to indulge in experimenting with web scripts, online services and widgets. Winding down towards a holiday I had the opportunity this weekend.
My first discovery was a free script called PHP Easy Downloader. It cleverly creates a neatly structured directory of text or image links for all the contents in a web folder. It’s ideal for listing downloads of files or pictures.
The program includes icons for file types and can create thumbnails of images. It has an accurate search function and can list files according to several options. There’s also a back-end administration tool.
I’m using it to list file downloads and to show a thumbnail gallery of my images directory. The latter isn’t my main photo gallery, but I thought this script would be handy to administer the files I have uploaded previously for this blog and elsewhere, many of which are no longer in use.
I’ve been experimenting a bit lately with video and searched a while for an online video solution. Motionbox has limited free storage (300MB) but looks attractive and offers handy features like online editing.
