Where are the good photoblog packages? Here’s the target that I’m trying to hit:
- Displays photos with title and description
- Displays thumbnails of photos when more than one photo is displayed
- Allows comments with moderation and filtration capabilities
- Allows tagging of photos by admin or visitor (moderated or threshhold-limited)
- Displays galleries by tag, date range, or pre-defined classification
- Optionally tracks user favorites, allows ratings, and records view counts
- Has no problem with FTP or HTTP uploads
- Can simulate internal galleries using external Flickr photos and galleries (wishful thinking)
- Uses a cropper to select a thumbnail
- Has no “back-end”, just a front end with extra controls for the admin
- Integrates easily into existing site layouts
- Displays photo date information (from EXIF if possible)
Is that so much to ask for? Apparently so.
