From Gallery2 to Wordpress

After over a year using Gallery2 to display my audio recordings i’ve decided to give it the axe. Part of my decision was the need to move the audio files off of my hosting account and save myself some bandwidth but also because I’ve grown a little unhappy with Gallery2. Ultimately it is designed as an image gallery  - but even so I’ve found it to be a complicated, over designed resources hog. Gallery3 is currently in development and maybe that will be better. But I don’t think it’s an environment that’s going to work displaying audio recordings. Also I can’t help but think that a Wordpress installation with the right plugins can produce something just as effective as Gallery2 and possibly even Gallery3.

DSA Media made us a great gallery/album system for Scenography – The Theatre Design Website, it’s simplicity is genius compared to a Gallery2 installation it’s a real dream and so easy to maintain and use.

I’ve now converted my audio files to movie files and hosted them on Vimeo. They’re all in here and you may browse through them using the categories link on the right.

More about using Vimeo later!
