Back in the day, when publishing to the internet was more of
a seat of the pants type of thingy I used to go our with my digital camera and
take pictures which I subsequently put on the internet in pages of about 100
pictures. Nothing fancy you understand just take the contents of my camera
card, resize the pictures on it so they weren’t enormous but were about the
size of an average computer screen – back then – and bung the whole lot on.
I have decided to start doing this again, so here are the
Ramsgate Carnival ones http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/2016ramsgatecarnival/
Each link along the top of the page you get to should be a different page of
photos.
Any thoughts on the way I have published these, image size,
number of photos on a page and so would be gratefully received.
I may, if I get the time, go back and edit the pages, rotate
the pictures that are sideways, delete the ones that are out of focus, this is
much more time consuming than just selecting about 100 and pasting them into a
webpage.
The last time I did this was in 2013, see http://michaelsbookshop.com/carnival2013/
And this in 2011 http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/ramsgatecarnival2011
This 2010 http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/rc2010/
I think I may have photographed others, but these were the
only ones I could find just now. The
objective here is to have an ongoing archive of modern Thanet.
I think an issue for me is that http://thanetonline.blogspot.co.uk/
and http://michaelsbookshop.blogspot.co.uk/
are much easier to publish to than a conventional website.
I tried using a sort of secondary blog to put the contents
of the camera card on and managed to get about 100 photos up at http://thanetphotos.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/ramsgate-carnival-day-24072016-first-100.html
before I decided it was just too time consuming.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
